 Hi Roland, 
  
 I have opened a MR to make fakeroot a requirement: 
  
 https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/-/merge_requests/68 
  
 This is needed for reproducible builds as the buildinfo file otherwise 
 does not list fakeroot. See the MR for more explanation. Hope that works 
 for you. 
  
 I have also send a script to do the daily builds in sbuild+unshare to 
 rt.debian.org #9664. 
  
 Cheers Jochen

 installing
