DESCRIPTION
fakeroot runs a command in an environment wherein it appears to
have root privileges for file manipulation. This is useful for
allowing users to create archives (tar, ar, .deb etc.) with files
in them with root permissions/ownership. Without fakeroot one
would need to have root privileges to create the constituent
files of the archives with the correct permissions and ownership,
and then pack them up, or one would have to construct the
archives directly, without using the archiver.
