                              Do they need a teacher? The reasons to
                              drop '--asroot' are valid reasons. The
                              style it was dropped IMO is a problem.
                              Fakeroot is a Debian thingy. What does
                              happen if the fakeroot developers ignore
                              common sense of backwards compatibility
                              within a major release?
;)

Fakeroot depends on sed. What happens assumed an option for sed should
be dropped within a major release?

Is community spirit out of style?
