     1.7 +Fakeroot runs a command in an environment where it appears to have
     1.8 +root privileges for file manipulation.
     1.9 +This is useful for allowing users to create archives (tar, ar,
    1.10 +.deb etc.) with files in them with root permissions or ownership.
    1.11 +Without fakeroot one would have to have root privileges to create the
    1.12 +constituent files of the archives with the correct permissions and
    1.13 +ownership, and then pack them up, or one would have to construct the
    1.14 +archives directly, without using the archiver.
