That's "fakeroot", a different program, which is used for simulating superuser privileges.
I was going to mention fakeroot, too, but it doesn't seem have a useful homepage. https://fakeroot.alioth.debian.org/ looks very much uninviting.
fakeroot was written for Debian, and it's still developed by Debian developers, although there's nothing Debian-specific about it. Debian has giving back to the free software community in their Social Contract¹, but in practice there's no culture of making Debian software easily accessible to outsiders. :-(
