I understand it's annoying, but the root permissions are actually
necessary. The uncaught-logs subdirectory is chowned, and it would be
counterintuitive to require "-u myself" for s6-linux-init-maker to work
when non-root. And I'm not going to specialcase this, because non-root
usage is not a valid case - except, as you said, to check the output,
but I'd rather people check the exact output that is supposed to be produced
instead of a sorta hacked version.
