Hi-
Just so I can save Camm the work he had explaining it nicely
to me, this is how you fakeroot a package on a Debian:
Put these lines at your /etc/apt/sources.list (or uncomment
them - if you're using the stable distro, it'll work fine, don't
worry):
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib
non-free
deb-src ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable non-US/main
non-US/contrib non-US/non-free
Than
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
fakeroot apt-get -q -b source maxima
and you're ready to go!
Cheers and Big Kudos for Camm for pulling this out for us! :-)
