So this ended up being trivial, as I had already split the logic and was creating the symlinks for the packaging independently from the previous symlinks for the infra, which I've now switched to being hardlinks. This seems safe, because even if they end up being copied as new files, then we at most just lose some space, but should have no other consequence given that they are going to be proper files. (If there's still concern about this I guess I could switch that to a «cp -a» call?). Attached updated patch. Thanks, Guillem
