If there is anything that fakeroot is capable of doing that pseudo does not, or 
another reason why you want to use fakeroot instead, please let us know.

pseudo was developed originally to deal with a number of stability, enhancement 
and other requirements after using fakeroot, fakechroot and related tooling.

(Note, if you are using RPM, fakechroot likely won't work because it doesn't 
support going in and out of chroot across processes.)
