Bug#37615: source command should try to become root

[Daniel Burrows <Daniel_Burrows@brown.edu>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.6
Severity: Wishlist

  In order to build Debian packages you have to be root or running under a
fakeroot-style environment.  It would be helpful if apt-get could automatically
attempt to run dpkg-buildpackage through (for example) fakeroot.  Not that it's
too much trouble to prefix apt-get source with fakeroot, but this would make
building packages as a non-root user even easier than it already is..
