Are you expecting a fakeroot-manpage? Such a manpage doesn't exist, because there exist 2 variants of the fakeroot program - fakeroot-sysv and fakeroot-tcp - with an individual man page, each.

That said, the package contains what upstream ships:

# rpm -qlp fakeroot-1.18.4-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm  | grep man
/usr/share/man/de/man1/faked-sysv.1.gz
/usr/share/man/de/man1/faked-tcp.1.gz

[Identical for f20]

This is identical with what debian ships (c.f. http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/fakeroot/filelist)

Hit enter too soon.
Thought both man pages are there, 
if you don't know it's "man fakeroot-tcp\sysv" you end up searching. on the www

Both current manpages are duplicate to each other, maybe a sym to "man fskeroot"
if such is possible.

Debian's fakeroot package uses "alternatives" to switch between *-tcp and *-sysv.

They not only install/switch such symlinks between both implementations of binaries via "alternatives"'s symlinks, but also install/switch manpages via "alternatives" symlinks. 

I guess I'll add them to fedora package as well.
