			== Ensure proper ownership ==
			By default, tar will preserve file permissions and ownership when creating an archive. However, on extraction, if you did not extract the archive as root, file ownership may have been substituted with the current user (since changing file ownership usually requires superuser privileges). If you didn't extract the apkovl as root, take a moment to correct ownership (by target's UIDs & GIDs rather than local user & group names)—especially for important directories like ''/etc'' and ''/root''.
