snowflake deb runs as root, and it should do something safer than that

I installed the snowflake-proxy deb (version 2.5.1-1+b3) and used "systemctl start snowflake-proxy" to tell it to start.

Now I have a proxy process running as root! Wow, I did not expect this.

Should we make a separate user and run the snowflake proxy as that user? Or is it secretly dropping privileges and the root part is not accurate?
