figure out fakeroot

[vsoch]

hey @yarikoptic I'm picking up from our previous issue because I thought it would be fun to figure this out myself. My idea is that after a release of nushell (at nushell/nushell) we can basically wget the .tar.gz release, and then update the version in the changelog, and then use a makefile to do the build:

cd nushell-0.3.0; sed -i "1s/.*/nu (0.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low/" debian/changelog; \
dpkg-source -b .; \
dpkg-buildpackage
dpkg-source: info: using source format '3.0 (quilt)'

I'm not familiar with the dpkg-buildpackage command to know exactly the error, but I can pretty easily guess it's not finding the compiled nushell (which should be in target/debug) and I'm also seeing that it's already using fakeroot, so my question is - where do I write proper commands for doing install/build using fakeroot, so that this runs cleanly and then builds the deb?

If you teach me to fish - I can help debian maintainers to fish in the future too! I'm actually really excited to be learning this, always wanted to :)
