It's root.root:

# ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/lock 
-rw-r-----  1 root root 0 Jul 20  2004 /var/cache/apt/archives/lock

FS is being mounted with no_root_squash, so root on the client machines
should have root privileges on the mounted partition. Apparently, they
do have, because they can write (and even execute) files there.

Best,

Andre
