Incorrect ownership of files installed by deb package

[LandBaroness]

Operating System

Linux - Debian 11

My Issue

Files installed by the Spotify deb package are owned by UID 1000. However, files installed to the /usr directories (such as /usr/bin and /usr/share) should be owned by root.

This is a packaging and security issue that is causing issues with other programs. For example, see the discussion here: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/5584

For your convenience, I am enclosing below the following which shows ownership by UID 1000 rather than root:

$ wget https://repository-origin.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/spotify-client_1.1.84.716.gc5f8...

$ ar x spotify-client_1.1.84.716.gc5f8b819-2_amd64.deb
$ tar --numeric-owner -tvf data.tar
