Lintian tag: duplicate-files

Type: pedantic

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

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.

Please refer to the jdupes(1) manual page for details.
