I think this is a serious bug.

It just fails without aborting, no big deal.

Yeah, I know the patch, I had it in previous versions, I just haven't gotten
around to uploading it (notice how much bigger the .deb is now :).

This bug defiles the /usr/share/locale/* directories when debuild
as real root.

Of course the fakeroot package is recommended, but users are not
obligated to use it.

Nobody should use real root for making packages unless there's a compelling
reason... for most packages, there isn't one.

You are generally right.

However, I hope to keep the high quality of Debian package.

Debian policy says:

This means that you can build as non-root, and can build as root too.
