You can store the files as if you name the actual location of the file as a hash of its contents and symlink the file to that location, you naturally get deduplication. Fuchsia does this [1]. You still end up wanting to try and coordinate your packages to share as many deps as possible for resource optimization reasons, but you no longer depend on it.
