Mark can correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK, duperemove can consume
output of fdupes, which does the whole file scanning for duplicates. And
I think adding a whole-file dedup mode to duperemove would be better
(from user's POV) than writing a whole new tool, eg. because of existing
availability of duperemove in the distros.

Also looking to your roadmap, some of the items are implemented in
duperemove: database of existing csums, cross filesystem boundary,
mtime-based speedups).
