duplicate files in daily MSI main archive for Windows x86-64

duplicate files

I extracted the below packages with 7z :
libreoffice7.6-dict-es_7.6.4.1-1_amd64.deb
libreoffice7.6-dict-no_7.6.4.1-1_amd64.deb
libreoffice7.6-dict-pt-br_7.6.4.1-1_amd64.deb
libreoffice7.6-dict-pt-pt_7.6.4.1-1_amd64.deb

Each package contains internal duplicate files.

Could we possibly use links ?

Does this issue concerns Windows MSI files also ?

duplicate files in daily MSI main archive for Windows x86-64

The duplicate files are also in the main MSI archive for Windows x86-64 (daily build 24.8.0.0.alpha0).

Thanks Jérome.

Setting to "Enhancement" and "New" as I think superfluous duplication should ideally be avoided, but let's see if others agree that it is indeed superfluous.

Cloph, what do you think?
