Hi,
we already got the packages fdupes, rdfind, fslint, perforate for this
purpose.[1] And there's a tool called duff[2], not yet packaged for Debian. I
don't think we need another tool for this. And I don't think such basic tools
should be written in a scripting language.

Thank you however for your initiative to contribute to Debian! If you have any
questions, please just ask.
