I got rid of these messages by doing the following replacements in do_install 
and package install scripts:

Instead of "cp -r -p ..." use "cp -r --preserve=mode,links ..."
Instead of "cp -a ..." use "cp -R --no-dereference --preserve=mode,links ..."

This fixes these QA warnings in a more structured way than running a blunt 
"chown root:root ..."
