[Bug 2028571] Re: klibc-utils contains identical binaries

[Adrien Nader]

These are actually hardlinks I think and "cpio -H newc" handles
hardlinks properly: they don't result in extra space being used.

(yes, I had also thought they did)

Title:
  klibc-utils contains identical binaries

Status in klibc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ```
  $ jdupes -r /usr/lib/klibc/bin
  Scanning: 38 files, 1 items (in 1 specified)
  /usr/lib/klibc/bin/gunzip                                   
  /usr/lib/klibc/bin/gzip
  /usr/lib/klibc/bin/zcat

  /usr/lib/klibc/bin/halt
  /usr/lib/klibc/bin/poweroff
  /usr/lib/klibc/bin/reboot
  ```

  Please replace these binaries with symlinks to reduce the size of the
  uncompressed initramfs.
