shadow file permissions different from build directory

While looking into unsquash/re-squash an image I see that the file permissions of an image are different from the build directory for /etc/shadow.

Build directory:

ls -l ~/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.2/image/system/etc/shadow

-rw------- 1 <user> <group> 205 Jun  5 15:04 ~/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.2/image/system/etc/shadow

On RPi3 (self compiled 8.0.2 image):

ls -l /etc/shadow

----------    1 root     root           205 Jun  5 09:04 /etc/shadow

Is it expected that there is a difference?

(unsquashed:

ls -l ~/LibreELEC.tv/deleteme/squashfs-root/etc/shadow 

---------- 1 <user> <group> 205 Jun  5 15:04 ~/LibreELEC.tv/deleteme/squashfs-root/etc/shadow

)

Thanks for clearing that up.

It does give me an error messages while re-squasing:

Failed to read file ~/LibreELEC.tv/deleteme/squashfs-changed/etc/shadow, creating empty file

I have not het tried to use a re-squashed image yet, but the file in a compiled image is not empty.

Had also a bit similar questions regarding /usr/bin/busybox and /usr/lib/dbus/dbus-daemon-launch-helper, but you clear those also.
