Message:

package: add optional instruction to change the owner of downloaded packages to root

Many users will create a user with the same username and UID so the
files will still be owned by his/her. So make it optional by "If you
won't assign the same UID for your user in the LFS system".

+  owner by its UID, and the UID of a normal user in the host distro is
