For all practical purposes, yes.
For Debian, the ownerships and permissions come from the source
file; you can't tell dpkg to make all files owned by root:root,
etc.
For HP-UX, the package files are actually created by a daemon
process that runs as root (sigh...); you can tell the daemon to
allow non-root users to create packages in certain directories
(at least the default is restricted...), but the files that the
daemon creates are owned by and readable only by root. It's kinda
hard to tar your software depot at that point... :)

Sadly, it isn't that easy...
