# `duplicate-files`

The package ships the two (or more) files with the exact same contents.

Duplicates can often be replaced with symlinks by running:

    jdupes -rl debian/${binary}/usr

... after they are installed, eg. in `override_dh_link`. In addition, please consider reporting this upstream.

Note: empty files are exempt from this check.

Severity: | `pedantic`
Experimental: | `true`
