'fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage' runs the build target under fakeroot, which is undesirable primarily because Debian 'build' targets are required to not depend on root privileges, and running them under fakeroot can hide bugs of this nature. 'fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot' is a double-invocation of fakeroot which may fail altogether. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
