Yes, it does work as root, with or without the --rootcmd fakeroot option. ;-)
And it works as a non-root user too, if you leave off the kernel_headers
target. But I tested this specific scenario before I wrote what I wrote,
and the --rootcmd fakeroot option does not work with the kernel_headers
target if invoked by a non-root user. You must leave off the
--rootcmd fakeroot option (to avoid nested invocations of fakeroot) and
run the entire make-kpkg command under fakeroot if you use the kernel_headers
target.
