<systemitem role="package">fakeroot</systemitem> simulates root privileges.
This enables you to build packages without being root (packages usually want to
install files with root ownership). If you have <systemitem
-role="package">fakeroot</systemitem> installed, you can build packages as a
-regular user: <literal>dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot</literal>.
+role="package">fakeroot</systemitem> installed,
