Use fakeroot instead of Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets

Jochen Sprickerhof requested to merge jspricke/debian-installer:use_fakeroot into master

This makes the package not FTBFS with debrebuild and on reproduce.debian.net.

debrebuild uses the buildinfo file generated on the buildd to reproduce the package. But the buildinfo file does not safe the version of the fakeroot package used so it can't use that and uses the unshare root instead. unshare root can't handle mknod as done in build/Makefile so the package FTBFS there. Instead this depends on fakeroot and rely on build/Makefile re executing with fakeroot.

This reverts 680ab3dd.
