I think running testsuites under fakeroot will lead to heartbreak.
Irrespective of that, I think it's okay to wrap setpriority but
I wonder if in the spirit of fakeroot, it makes more sense to
wrap both getpriority and setpriority and track those priorities
similarly to ownership and permissions.  On the other hand, perhaps
it is a mistake to try to implement any semblance of process
management.
