<pre>A couple of side effects for distribution packages since megadrivers and using
hardlinks:
1) hardlinks get copied as different files on packages, each one occupying the
same size, unless a trick is used to keep the hardlinks. In Debian and Ubuntu
the workaround is applied correctly
2) only one debug file is provided, ignoring the hardlinked files, see Debian
bug:
<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=755921">https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=755921</a>
Workaround is simple (manually create symlinks), but not used currently.
No idea if there is a better approach (symlinks rather than hardlinks?), just
writing here to document it, otherwise this can be closed.</pre>
