And apt-get source will write to current directory, and It is a security feature to download file from special pseudo user when started from root I don't get why there are bug reports about that. We could also just make it an error and say: This command does not work as root, but that won't make people happy either.

While we might want to solve this at some point, this is no huge deal, and would require a huge amount of work to fix. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.
