You can save fakeroot's database and load it when you want to archive
the files:
fakeroot -s database mknod /tmp/blah c 1 2
fakeroot -i database tar cf ...
You can combine -i and -s if you work on the same database on multiple
instances. You can also save separate database files from separate
operations (such as installing a particular package) and concatenate
them before archiving everything.
