Package: dpkg-repack
Version: 1.32
Severity: normal
Doing
dpkg-repack --generate git-core
results in a dpkg-repack-NNN/usr/lib/git-core directory with separate
copies of the files from /usr/lib/git-core, whereas I hoped the repack
dir would preserve the hard links there.
/usr/lib/git-core has some 103 names for the same 1Mb file. Letting
dpkg-repack make a deb,
dpkg-repack git-core
results in a rather large 57Mb, where the original is about 5.5Mb. :-)
