this is indeed an error in the documentation. The default mode is --mode=auto and as you observed fakechroot gets chosen before proot. This is because fakechroot has a critical advantage over proot: it is able to preserve ownership information while when using proot, everything is owned by the root user. I'll soon upload a patched version that fixes this issue. Thanks! cheers, josch
