I understand that, I'd suggest one solution of pointing people at our standalone buildtools tarball which we can easily include pseudo in. It would also be nice to see it as a tool in its own right in distros. My main worry is that we did used to run into a lot of weird fakeroot bugs, I really don't want to end up there again...
