IIUC, and IIRC, this can only be done if those packages that write new
files(?)/directories to (or otherwise change ownerships in) the work
directory during the install stage. I.e. files(?)/directories in the
work directory end up being owned by root and cannot be "cleaned" by the
unprivileged user. Of course the correct thing is indeed to patch the
offending packages not to mess in the work directory during install, but
sometimes that's easier said than done.
Sorry, I don't remember which packages gave me such grief, and I haven't
done so many unprivileged package builds lately.
