Indeed, maybe something along the lines of the following (assembled from the
manpage):

  fakeroot runs a command in an environment wherein it appears to  have  root 
  privileges for file manipulation. fakeroot  works  by  replacing the file
  manipulation library functions (chmod(2), stat(2) etc.) by ones that simulate
  the effect the real library functions would have had, had the user really been 
  root.

But I won't yet respin a package with only this change, e.g. whoover reviews
this, please assume the description will be the one above.
