cleanbuild fails when source tree contains file with >65535 ownership(from LXD)
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed as obsolete after the separate cleanbuild command was removed; builds now clean-build transparently by default, so the old LXD failure path no longer applies.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: Maintainer ~sergiusens noted on 2023-08-17 that cleanbuild was no longer supported because all builds now clean-build transparently by default. The affected command was decommissioned, and no resolving PR or commit was cited.

Issue body
The source tree archiving process failed with:
```
./poedit_2.0.8+git-1_amd64.deb
tar: ./poedit_2.0.8+git-1_amd64.deb: Cannot change ownership to uid 100000, gid 100000: Invalid argument
./AUTHORS
```
poedit_2.0.8+git-1_amd64.deb is a file created in an LXD container as root, which translates to `100000` outside the container.
