It only would suit our needs, if ... a) all involved tools (mv, cp, install) are built without two-level namespaces (in all variations that may occur, i.e. /usr/bin/* vs. /sw/bin/*), b) there is a way to extract all the "fake" ownership information, so that we can apply it when building the .deb file. > fakeroot-ng looks hopeless as it needs the PTRACE mechanism to hook into the > kernel, which doesn't exist on OS X.
