On Debian, you can apt-get install hardlink, and check a filesystem
recursively for identical files. Hardlink replaces them with,
hardlinks.

I know you are now trying to undo some of the softlinks created by
some other recursive de-dup tool, but if the data hasn't changed,
maybe it would be quicker (and less error-prone) to restore a backup
and then run hardlink.

apt-cache show hardlink points us to http://jak-linux.org/projects/hardlink/.
