That's FUD, so please do avoid spreading it. :)
pbuilder does run build under fakeroot when you
configure it to be.
pbuilder itself runs under root.
Also, pbuilder-user-mode-linux can run under normal user privilages.
(But I have not yet heard of anybody really using it)

The same can be said about pbuilder, although probably not about
pbuilder-uml.
I would like to know how pbuilder-uml does.
In my computer rootstrap seems to stop while running
debootstrap and downloading base system, so I have not been
able to test it quite well recently.
Anyone tried pbuilder-uml out extensively ?
