  user manual, "3.6 Variable Flags" includes "fakeroot" as one of the
numerous flags, but that section claims that all of those flags can be
set using the standard variable syntax. but IIRC, fakeroot is set as
an *attribute* on tasks these days, as in:

  fakeroot tar_sdk() {

so how should that entry be worded/reworded? unless i'm misreading
something.
