Hmm... this is very interesting. The files were correctly linked
together after the "make install DESTDIR=debian/tmp". The problem is
that dh_movefiles uses tar to move the files:
(cd debian/tmp >/dev/null ; tar --create --remove-files
--files-from=debian/movelist --file -) | (cd debian/e2fsprogs >/dev/null ;tar
xpf -)
Tar seems unable to preserve all hard links when the --remove-files
option is present. If dh_movefiles is modified so that the
--remove-files option is removed, and the files removed after the call
to tar using an "cat debian/movelist | xargs rm -f", then the hard
links are properly preserved.
I'll submit bug against debhelper pointing this out.
