    Remove need for `(fake)root` when assembling the .deb
    
    The `xscreensaver` package can successfully be built without needing
    `(fake)root` at any point of its build/assembly. Setting
    `Rules-Requires-Root` to `no` removes the implicit build dependency on
    `fakeroot`.
    
    As useful as fakeroot has been, it is also quite fragile. As an example,
    a slightly out of date fakeroot can cause debs to be contaminated with
    non-root ownerships #1024544. Additionally, `fakeroot` has two open
    unfixed RC bugs filed against it that has made it unable to migrate to
    testing for a while.

    allowed in the override file.
