No actually fakechroot is installed , this is what the libguestfs
installation process does.
I not familiar with deboostrap/debirf internals - any idea why the
installed fakechroot is not being used automatically by debirf?

This is list of files belonging to debirf package on my gentoo system -
i just installed it and did not make any manual configurations.
