The virtual/ namespace exists from previous days and its true that
pseudo can do anything fakeroot could do so in that sense its valid. The
opposite is not true however as you've found out.

So technically, yes, we now require pseudo-native and we could go and
change those dependencies. Its not exactly a pressing issue but I'd take
patches.
