I just inadvertently built a kernel without fakeroot, specifically I

make-kpkg --append-to-version advncdfs --config xconfig kernel_image

I don't see any error messages, and the deb was built.

My kernel-pkg.conf includes the line
root_cmd := fakeroot
though I don't find "fakeroot" anywhere in the build log.

I also said export PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES before the build.

I thought this was supposed to fail.  Has something changed?

You've probably just built a .deb package. Using dpkg to install
it would probably need root.
