Yes, when operating across disk partitions the owner is changed to
root. Same with dired-do-rename. On the same partition both are OK though.
dired-do-copy also changes the owner to root, even on the same
partition, even though it advertises that it uses cp -p in the
minibuffer. However the real Debian (GNU) cp -p would not do such a
thing.
