The command I run is 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot' (the space in my submission was a typo) and it fails in the way I described. Running 'dpkg-buildpackage -r fakeroot' is an immediate and rather obvious failure, whereas my build actually successfully compiles the git binaries and successfully runs the full git test suite.
It's just the perl stuff that's failing. Specifically, that I already have git-core installed (and, therefore /usr/share/perl5/Git.pm) and, I assume, the script that handles this class is not doing the right thing in a fakeroot environment. Please reopen this, it's a new problem. I have, as I said in my original submission, successfully built previous version of git-core from source using 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot'. B.
