FTR, we did that because it confuses unit tests that talk to each other
via D-Bus (I think the in-band communication based on geteuid() was faked
and said the client was uid 0, but the SCM_CREDENTIALS message still told
the truth and said it was uid > 0, making authentication fail). If it
avoids other fakeroot issues then that's just a happy coincidence.
