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.

Ian.
