It's pretty simple: BuildRequire fdupes and then use "%fdupes $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" in your install section. This will check for duplicated files and make them hardlink. Just be careful that these duplicated files do not end up in different subpackages - I haven't tried what rpm does in that case.
There seems to be another problem. %fdupes can create hardlinks between files that would finally end on different partitions. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304167
Using something like %fdupes $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr %fdupes $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/srv ...
fixes the problem.
What if /srv/ftp and /srv/www were separate mounts?
Do you think that the %fdupes macro should be changed to do this automatically?
