[Bug 2028571] Re: klibc-utils contains identical binaries

[Benjamin Drung]

Tested initramfs generated with it:

```
$ schroot-wrapper -c mantic -u root -p initramfs-tools,linux-image-generic,fdupes
(mantic)root at host:~# unmkinitramfs /boot/initrd.img initrd
(mantic)root at host:~# jdupes -r /usr/lib/klibc/bin
Scanning: 38 files, 1 items (in 1 specified)
No duplicates found.
(mantic)root at host:~# jdupes -r initrd/
Scanning: 1760 files, 462 items (in 1 specified)
initrd/main/etc/modprobe.d/amd64-microcode-blacklist.conf   
initrd/main/etc/modprobe.d/intel-microcode-blacklist.conf

initrd/main/usr/bin/halt
initrd/main/usr/bin/poweroff
```

So the hard-linked files get de-duplicated in the initramfs.

  Please replace these binaries with symlinks to reduce the size of the
  uncompressed initramfs.
