I would say no. It would be a PITA to have 1/2 the work done as another user.
Please note that the su'ing of the script is simply there for convenience.
There
is no privelge separation in any part of the scripts (with the exception of
--help in most). One solution I wouldn't mind for this bug and others like it
would be to require the scripts to be run as root and not su themselves. But
it
would reduce the convenience, so I don't think Andrew would allow it.
