Arghh! Please stop mis-using the term "fakeroot". The real Fakeroot is a Debian package designed to simulate a superuser environment. What you are referring to is what the rest of the world calls a DESTDIR style approach. The real Fakeroot is also used in Package Management which is why your mis-use of the term is very confusing. It would be nice if you could also fix your hint. Thanks.
