I build kernel packages without fakeroot, since I'm running my scripts as root. I read several times on Debian user, that others tried to use fakeroot to build Debian packages, but it didn't work. IOW I never experienced issues with fakeroot, since it's irrelevant when building a kernel package as root. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
