DEBIAN                                          Debian Utilities                                       DEBPKG(1)

debpkg  simply  invokes  dpkg(1)  but  first becomes superuser so that dpkg is able to install and remove
       packages.    It   also   cleans   the   environment   and   resets    PATH    to    a    sane    default:
       "/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11" so that local versions of programs are not run by accident.

debpkg  must be given superuser privileges in some way to function properly.  Accesstodebpkgwiththoseprivilegesisthesameashavingsuperuseraccesstoyourmachine.debpkg will abort if it finds that it
       neither being run by root nor setuid root.

       The devscripts package has been designed to allow debpkg to be made setuid root.  This works by  using  a
       compiled wrapper script, which means that suidperl is not required.  See dpkg-statoverride(8) if you wish
       to make this program setuid root.  sudo or super could also conceivably be used.
