Hi Niels,
thanks a lot for splitting up your suggestions for routine-update into
easily handleable bug reports. IMHO the most important one is this one
and so I tried to tackle it immediately.

Hope this will be dealt with soon.
I've pushed a commit which is not adding `Rules-Requires-Root` any more
but rather removes it (why should a package reproduce what is default
anyway). Please review
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/routine-update/-/commit/f4db74b3f6a1c62cd4a3531643589c5f0901736d
and I will upload immediately.
BTW, routine-update is maintained in Debian Science team for historical
reasons. If you consider it better maintained in debian/ team I can
move it there since team uploads by anybody are welcome in any case.
Kind regards
Andreas.
