Installed Hadoop 1.0.1 from amd64 DEB package.
Executed: sudo /usr/sbin/hadoop-setup-single-node.sh

It invokes /usr/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh where in line 98

chown $HADOOP_IDENT_STRING $HADOOP_LOG_DIR

attempts to execute 'chown root /var/log/hadoop/root' as user hduser, resulting in 

 * Starting Apache Hadoop Name Node server hadoop-namenode                                                                                                     
chown: changing ownership of `/var/log/hadoop/root': Operation not permitted

and

 * Starting Apache Hadoop Data Node server hadoop-datanode                                                                                                     
chown: changing ownership of `/var/log/hadoop/root': Operation not permitted

As a result, setup fails.
