Hadn't considered it.

For them, it probably doesn't matter. This change is only really for
someone building as one user and then doing a sudo install. The CI scripts
don't install system-wide so don't need any privilege changes.

However, if you think our CI should just align with the practice in the
docs, I can do a V2 with some CI changes too.
