    Summary: Run a command in an environment faking root privileges for file manipulation
    Description: 
    fakeroot runs a command in an environment were it appears to have root
    privileges for file manipulation.  This is useful for allowing users to
    createarchives (tar, ar, .rpm etc.) with files in them with root
    permissions/ownership.  Without fakeroot one would have 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.
