I don't want to use sudo. I want to have a user-space chroot, hence my reason to use fakeroot in the first place. It's also not an issue with /tmp/, since it has the same issue with a folder in $HOME.

Read the Documentation I provided under Better Solution and install the DebBootstrap in userspace, Fakeroot will not work using the method you're trying to use it for, because of the Limitations in the Limitation Section above. Fakeroot is mainly used to modify config files, and build debian packages. It cannot emulate a full fleged chroot
