In this case the two are equivalent I think (apart from the process perspective). But you can use other programs than fakeroot with -r thats why its there, for example sudo. > fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot Since dpkg prefixes the command which needs root permissions with the specified command I guess this would result in some kind of double fakeroot. > Which one should I use for building packages in Debian? I guess most of the people (and the available documentation for developers) ues -rfakeroot.
