Every time I install a package the new package contains hard links to prerequisite packages. As long as a package is required by others it has at least one hard link pointing to it, so it won't be deleted. It does most but not all of the work required to keep my list of packages to a minimum.
A soft link is a reference. A hard link is a raison l'existence.
