According to the documentation that comes with fakeroot (and is
installed in /usr/share/doc/fakeroot/README):
fakeroot can be built to either use SYSV IPC or TCP for message passing.
Cases for which the SYSV IPC version fails or causes problems but for
which fakeroot-tcp has been observed to work well include the items
listed below.
* Multithreaded applications (using pthread)
* Running under realtime-preempt kernel
So unless I am missing something, it does not seem entirely wrong.
Anyway, I will remove the install message from SVN so it will not appear
for the next rebuild.
