I would not be concerned. Note that even without pkg_comp the default is
to do the installation targets as root and we do trust/allow that.
As for me, I just manually setup build environment and chroot and do my
builds as non-root and installs and packaging as root.
You could do the builds and installs and packaging as non-root too. (And I
do that frequently on some systems.) And some packages wont' build
though.
