Sorry, this is my fault.  I didn't think about hard-links.  I was just
skimming the cpio extract for parts that could be trimmed out and
noticed it.

    $ ls -i *fsck*
    19455718 e2fsck
    19455671 fsck
    19455718 fsck.ext2
    19455718 fsck.ext3
    19455718 fsck.ext4
    19455718 fsck.ext4dev
    19455679 fsck.minix
    19455695 fsck.minix.util-linux
    19455675 fsck.util-linux

Is there a reason to prefer hardlinks over softlinks, for my own
education?  My desktop system used softlinks for fsck.
