Sorry, I didn't look at the code. I was merely prompted to speculate by
the mentioning of hard links and inferred wrongly, it seems, that the
discrepancy was related---although in fairness I also doubted that a
fixed 3:1 ratio could be credibly explained by deduplication alone.
Also, I don't mean to appear critical. Thanks to everyone for your hard
work on Guix!
Kind regards
Felix
