fakeroot-0.4.4-9.2 still fails, but here is a patch

["T.R.Y." <try@lyang.net>]

Hi, Wichert,

Thanks for your quick response.
Tried fakeroot-0.4.4-9.2, but the problem is still there.
Finally figured out: seteuid() (possiblly setegid() too) needs
to be wrapped, besides (or instead of?) setuid(). Don't know
if there is any impact on security. But I am happy now.

Attached is the little patch, just for convenience.
