Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

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.
