Public bug reported:

The file /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-buildpackage parses options and
builds the command line for debuild. It includes the line:

    DEBBUILDOPTS="${DEBBUILDOPTS:+$DEBBUILDOPTS }-rfakeroot"

Note that it unequivocally appends "-rfakeroot" to the debuild command
line. In turn, debuild parses the command line such that the last
instance of the -r option is used. So even if you set DEBBUILDOPTS to
have an alternative -r option, it will have no effect.

This can be worked around by making "-rfakeroot" appear at the
beginning, so any user-supplied -r option appears last and will take
effect. But this depends on behavior coded into debuild. A better
solution would be to check of DEBBUILDOPTS contains a -r or --rootcmd
option, and only force the inclusion of -rfakeroot if not provided.
