Why do you use package() function when the package isn't a splitted

Hello :)
Using both build() and package() is not necessary condition for use
only with splitted packages, its avoid to use the fakeroot on building
process that is not needed in 99% of packages.
Good luck!
Sorry, but I consider the use of fakeroot a good thing, it helps
to reveal errors while packaging/creating the PKGBUILD at least. Don't
know why it should be avoided.
fakeroot make a table of function pointers for many file manipulation
calls, like open(), close(), chmod() and etc -> overhead, slowdowns
(small of course)
During the build process file perms are not necessary to be "tracked",
or at least in 99% of packages. Only during the install process is only
needed.
If you have an example that breaks this, please let me know ;)

Nice feature! I didn't know that using package() avoids using of
fakeroot.
Back to my point. There used to be a problem with compilation of
amarok1 package from AUR only because of fakeroot and I guess that it
would also help with building of mplayer (configure crashes under
fakeroot environment and needs to be patched but maybe it was fixed
meanwile alongside with amarok1 problem). So in some specific cases I
can see the point of using separate package() even when the PKGBUILD
builds only one package.
best,

Most reported crashes on bugtracker are because nvidia libgl, that
conflics with libfakeroot, both uses dlsym() (nvidia i don't know why
does this, fakeroot do this to fill a table of pointer to functions),
the result is a jump to NULL :P

Hi Gerardo can you confirm that there are no (owner) permission issues when
building without fakeroot (i.e all owned by user)? I don't see chown
anywhere other than extract_sources().
If your packaging is done properly, then there is no issues. Always use
"install" and not "cp".
