If you're using debhelper, it's usually best to retain misc:Depends even
if it's not currently being set. Some later revision to debhelper may
need to set it for some reason, and if you don't include misc:Depends,
your package may then have the wrong dependencies.

It's a little picky for lintian to complain about, although now that it's
mentioned in the reject FAQ it should probably be added. The logic needs
a bit of finesse, though, since it shouldn't complain about a single
commented-out line.

I suspect dh_fixperms cleaning up after the fact rather than anything
related to fakeroot.
