Yup, it is explicitly stated in the README.

extract the software tarball:
 	tar --numeric-owner -jxf voyage-<version>.tar.bz2

It doesn't say you need to be root when you do that.  (maybe adding sudo 
to that command line would make it clear)

Either way, I think the installation method should be cleaned up so that 
the tarball doesn't need to be --numeric-owner, nor have root extract it.

The voyage.update script should have a post-install devicenode create 
script, and a permission/owner cleanup script.
