   DESCRIPTION

       fakeroot runs a command in an environment wherein it appears to
       have root privileges for file manipulation.  This is useful for
       allowing users to create archives (tar, ar, .deb etc.) with files
       in them with root permissions/ownership.  Without fakeroot one
       would need to have root privileges to create the constituent
       files of the archives with the correct permissions and ownership,
       and then pack them up, or one would have to construct the
       archives directly, without using the archiver.
