Public bug reported: linux-firmware ships firmware files that are identical/duplicates:
``` $ fdupes -rm /lib/firmware/ 341 duplicate files (in 195 sets), occupying 37.1 megabytes ``` Please patch the source package and replace the duplicates by symlinks. Alternatively run jdupes during build, but then ensure that the resulting symlinks are stable. This will reduce the initramfs size especially after compressing firmware files (bug #1942260) and putting compressed files in an uncompressed cpio archive (bug #2028567).
