Real or fake makes no difference. Anything that test id or file
permissions will (hopefully) behave the same with fakeroot.

Also, normaly packages are not build as root. The build target is
called as user and then only "binary-*" as root. A test suite run in
build will run as user.

The binary-* targets MUST work as root.
