Subject: [PATCH] UBUNTU: [Packaging] Allow to run debian/rules without
 (fake)root

While DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT is set by build drivers like
dpkg-buildpackage, we often run debian/rules directly.

Typing "fakeroot debian/rules ..." can be tedious, so we introduced
a shorthand

  alias fdr="fakeroot debian/rules"

By setting DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT=no, debhelpers will function as
intended even when debian/rules is directly executed without fakeroot.
