No, that doesn't work. Look at this:

rulcmc:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ fakeroot
sh-2.01# ldd /usr/bin/uudecode 
        /usr/lib/libfakeroot.so.0 => /usr/lib/libfakeroot.so.0 (0x4000b000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40011000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400cd000)
        ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4016b000)

Whatever you make the fakeroot shilbs file, things will go wrong.
(there will always be a dependancy on libc6).

(On the other hand, if you really thought your solution would solve
the problem, you might consider sending your solution to the
fakeroot package maintainer (me)).

Thanks.
