Bug#673094: debhelper: hardlink auto-gened .placeholder files
Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20120513em1
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice to hardlink all the little .placeholder files when a package ships
more than one of them, such as cron. To save a little bit of space. Alternatively,
the files could be made totally empty, but I don't exect that to happen.
