Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.34
Severity: normal

If the debuild script is invoked from within a fakeroot environment, an 
error occurs, and the script aborts:

fakeroot: nested operation not yet supported

I suspect that this error should be silently ignored from within the 
script, allowing operation to continue.

(Maybe there should be a switch to fakeroot which could be used 
to prevent the error from occuring if an attempt is made to create a fakeroot
environment from an already fakeroot environment, or maybe the error 
should just not occur.)
