I'm pretty sure this was needed when I set it up. Might be related to how our CI ran/runs. |

Ran a custom build and it seems to be fine.

LGTM, but I recommend merging it in debt week since we are currently in testing phase of current iteration.

REALLY minor change, but... there's no reason to use
fakerootwhen building RPMs. Unlike when building.debfiles, the.rpmpackaging process is intended to be performed by a regular, unprivileged user. It doesn't require root permissions (even fake ones), because installed-file permissions are stored as package metadata and applied when the package is extracted and installed.
