Bug#675920: xulrunner-dev: Please do not use hard links

[Erik Braun]

Package: xulrunner-dev
Version: 10.0.4esr-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainers,

Please do not use hard links. Users of (file-)systems without hard
link support across directories, e. g. OpenAFS, cannot simply install
this package with "aptitude".

The benefit of using hard links instead of symbolic links or copies of
the tar same files is marginal:

# tar xzf data.tar.gz
# du -ks usr
33484   usr
# cp -r usr usr_deref
# du -ks usr_deref
33552   usr_deref
