Heh, indeed, it's a package QA test. do_install runs under pseudo, so any
newly created files there, or files chown'd to root, will be fine. If,
however, a recipe does a cp -a or so to install without doing a chown,
you'll end up with files in your rootfs owned by the user that did the
build -- not good.
