There are multiple dedup utilities. I use fdupes, which can not only list but also remove or replace duplicates with hardlinks.


Thanks! I guess formulating that question, I was halfway to apt-cache search. I had envisioned a tool that would find an entire equivalent dir tree (two unpacked source tarballs -> one match), and at first glance I don't know if fdupes will do that. But it might make sense to use an off the shelf tool with a little more manual labor.
