Right, I just noticed/remembered that we have t-unpack-hardlink already...
can you merge your test in that one?
It already tests hardlinks on various type of files, you'd just add a
test-conffile-link{0,1} and mark test-conffile-link{0,1} as conffiles.

Yes, that doesn't matter at all for the purpose of this test at least.
