Agreed with this change. It is also more in line with how setting a root 
command is usually done in Debian. A grep of man pages on my system shows 
the following uses:
DEBUILD_ROOTCMD, BDPEP_ROOTCMD, UUPDATE_ROOTCMD, BUILDD_ROOTCMD, 
PBUILDERROOTCMD.

I have not tested it, but the patches look good otherwise, so with Sam's 
suggested change:
Acked-by: Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl>

Cheers,
