But using any automatism like %fdupes for symlinks is also a bad idea IMO since the semantics of two files (or two hardlinks to the same file) is different from the semantics of a file and a symlink. Consider for example the difference when you delete the file and not the symlink, or chmod, or something else. Also (for hardlinks _and_ symlinks), what's if a program installs the same configuration file in /etc and as documentation in /usr/share/doc/packages. Initially, the contents is the same, but if you modify the configuration in /etc, the sample configuration in /usr/share/doc/packages should stay the same.
