Package: approx
Version: 3.5-1
Severity: wishlist
The deb import script from apt-cacher, when importing debs, first tries
to make a hardlink (see `man ln`), and only if that fails, creates a
regular file copy. As a result, it is very impressive to see, that
even though an import of over 60 thousands of packages has completed,
the amount of free disk space did not reduce at all.
It would be very nice to have such optimization in approx-import as
well.

Closing this since it's not feasible to use hard links with the
current approx design.
