It's not clear to me that this is good advice. fakeroot seems to have some problems, but it does still work. I think it's better to use fakeroot when it works (and sudo if fakeroot doesn't work for a particular package) than to always use sudo. Sudo is dangerous if there are bugs in the Makefiles - it can hose your /usr/bin directory, for example.
