Hi,

I seems that fakeroot is being called automatically, then. What is the
exact command that you use to build your package? I guess one of:

 pdebuild
 debuild
 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
 fakeroot debian/rules binary

Probably not, using dh_installchangelogs is extremely easy. It has its
own manpage, by the way. The point is that the process needs to be root
in order to set the right permissions. You normally achieves this by
using fakeroot.

You need to be able to test the package yourself, you are going to be
the primary maintainer. Installing a chroot is easy and cheap (it does
consume some hard drive space, but that's all).
