[Pbuilder-maint] Bug#420458: pbuilder: if BUILDRESULT is created, it's owned by root:root

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.166
Severity: normal

Hi,

if the BUILDRESULT directory is missing, it's created with ownership
set to root:root. That's inconvenient because I have to become root to
get rid of this directory.

Since the .debs etc. are being chowned to me, it shouldn't be too
difficult to fix the ownership of the buildresult directory (but only if
it had been created by pbuilder).

Note: it's possible to create multiple directory levels and all should
be owned properly by me.

(I usually add a '--buildresult ../build-pkgname-1.2.3-4' parameter
especially for packages with many .debs to prevent cluttering my default
BUILDRESULT=..)
