Fair enough I suppose. Personally I would just drop the symbols,
looking at the output of c++filt I get things from libstdc++ appearing
in the output.

In megaglest-data, we do this:
# Replace duplicate files with symlinks
rdfind -outputname /dev/null -makesymlinks true debian/megaglest-data/
# Fix those symlinks to make them relative
symlinks -r -s -c debian/megaglest-data/

There are apparently some filesystems (such as OpenAFS) that don't
support hardlinks, so I would suggest symlinks instead, see above.
