Hello, Giacomo. I do not know your experience, but my experience is
building
packages as Debian maintainer during 4 years. I maintain several packages.
And this means a *lot* of packages (given that we usually build other
packages for NMUs, or backports for our own use).
fakeroot did not manage to build only one package in this time:
mozilla. Its
build system was broken, and it was needed to build as root (due to a some
file opertaion only able to do as root, if I recall right). So please do not
spread false information. ;-)
And it is not only my word. In the Debian Developer's Reference:
A. Overview of Debian Maintainer Tools
A.1. Core tools
A.1.1. `dpkg-dev'
A.1.2. `debconf'
A.1.3. `fakeroot'
fakeroot is a core tool for Debian developers.
Best regards,
Ender.
