[ptxdist] large UID/GID when running ipkg-revision

[ptxdist] large UID/GID when running ipkg-revision

[Jon Ringle]

In commit 4d7ff1b8e46a242ead09e044262e7daec642e3b7 the files contained
in an ipk file are chown 0:0 to avoid a problem when UID/GID is >
99999.
I am seeing the same problem with the ipk files created in
ipkg-revision, however, chown 0:0 doesn't work there because it
appears to not be run under fakeroot.

I could use ar's -D option, but that was rejected in the above commit
due to old ar versions not supporting -D.

Why not just call ipkg-revision with fakeroot? Then you should get uid/gid
0 when unpacking, right?
