Thanks for the verification. I am going to do as you suggest. Howeever, it may be possible to get this to work without. In chiark-utils, /usr/sbin/really is also setuid root and this is somehow arranged without fakeroot. Presumbly something similar could work here. I haven't investigated. FTR I am open to a patch.
