<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>.

-<systemitem role="package">yada</systemitem> is another packaging helper tool.
-It uses a <filename>debian/packages</filename> file to auto-generate
-<filename>debian/rules</filename> and other necessary files in the
-<filename>debian/</filename> subdirectory. The
-<filename>debian/packages</filename> file contains instruction to build
-packages and there is no need to create any <filename>Makefile</filename>
-files. There is possibility to use macro engine similar to the one used in
-SPECS files from RPM source packages.
