Being pedantic: He is building his package in a directory that the _apt
user cannot write.

He'll have the same problem in any directory except /tmp on a normal
system, unless he created a suitable directory himself (i.e., a world-
writable one, preferably with the sticky bit set, or one owned by
_apt).
