Only the effects that user B<joost> could do anyway happen for real.

37.

B<fakeroot> was specifically written to enable users to create Debian GNU/Linux packages (in the B<deb>(5) format) without giving them root privileges. This can be done by commands like B<dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot> or B<debuild -rfakeroot> (actually, -rfakeroot is default in debuild nowadays, so you don't need that argument).

B<FAKEROOTKEY>

44.

The key used to communicate with the fakeroot daemon. Any program started with the right B<LD_PRELOAD> and a B<FAKEROOTKEY> of a running daemon will automatically connect to that daemon, and have the same "fake" view of the file system's permissions/ownerships (assuming the daemon and connecting program were started by the same user).
