I doubt that. You can easily run into this problem by using make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot modules-image and the nvidia module will fail with fakeroot: FAKEROOTKEY set to 1625239046 fakeroot: nested operation not yet supported make[2]: *** [build-stamp] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel' make[1]: *** [kdist_image] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel' Module /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel failed. Perhaps /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel does not understand --rootcmd? If you see messages that indicate that it is not in fact being built as root, please file a bug against /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel. This behavior changed within the last weeks, not sure when exactly. I'm sure it worked well when I built the first kernel on my new desktop, which was in October. I think I ran into the same problem while using dpkg-buildpackage, but I'm not sure. running fakeroot make-kpkg instead of using --rootcmd works.
