I have done quite a bit of work on this package that has not been released in Debian, largely, I suspect, because it involves a name change. See https://github.com/rrthomas/finddup The main points are that a) there was never a program called 'perforate', b) the program 'zum' that did the "perforating" is now otiose, as file systems and cp between them take care of this functionality, and so c) the useful functionality left in the package was mainly the 'finddup' program, which I have updated, along with the minor utility 'findstrip', and the 'findcore' script which I've added to my version of the package. -- https://rrt.sc3d.org
