Set `Rules-Requires-Root: no` since rdate does not need (fake)root
The `rdate` package can be assembled without needing (fake)root.
Setting `Rules-Requires-Root: no` will enable the buildds do leverage
this in practice and remove the implicit build dependency on fakeroot.
On avoiding 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a slightly out of date fakeroot can cause debs to be contaminated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 ownership #1024544. Additionally, fakeroot has one
open unfixed RC bug filed against it that has made it unable to
migrate to testing for a while.
