The problem is that you cannot tell two file entries are actually the
same file unless you look at both entries and compare the inodes. To
tag hard-linked files, konqueror would have to scan the whole
filesystem.

Whit 'ls' you can ask to see the inode number associated with the
file, and thus you could determine if two file entries point to the
same blocks; Konqueror does not have a way to display the information,
not even in the detailed view; but that information is rarely needed.

For your particular case, I suggest you trust your distribution to do
the sensible thing, and use the package manager to remove unneeded
packages.
