%description is a bit terse, please assume the %description reads:

   fakechroot runs a command in an environment were is additionally possible to
   use the chroot(8) call without root privileges. This is useful for allowing 
   users to create their own chrooted environment with possibility to install
   another packages without need for root privileges.

E.g. this and fakeroot are useful

a) for mock and friends for students w/o root access, as well as
b) for hardening buildsystems (impossible to gain root privileges by injecting
   malicious packages into build hosts)

There is no technical dependency between fakeroot and fakechroot, but it makes
most sense to use both together for faking chroot calls and setting up faked
chroots.
