fakeroot with chroot.
http://people.debian.org/~dexter/fakeroot/
This is very dirty hack, but it works. I mean you can use debootstrap on
your user account without root privileges.
An example session from my system:
dexter@pepper!sid:~$ fakeroot
root@pepper!sid:~# export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
root@pepper!sid:~# /usr/sbin/chroot /tmp/fakeroot /bin/bash
root@pepper:/tmp/fakeroot# cd /
root@pepper:/# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=1001(dexter)
root@pepper:/# apt-get install libfreetype6-dev
