Because it's the command you would type in your shell

Do you expect that some software will translate <literal> into something else, or that people will literally read <literal>fdupes</literal>?

Not sure I understand your question...
It's in the long desc and I expected it to be formatted like a command on https://nixos.org/nixos/packages.html
I'm pretty sure I've seen it done in another package longDesc but I may be wrong.

Well, there is one package that uses <literal>, axolati from #30086, but there is no reason to expect that nixos website will replace it with formatting, and it is easy to check that nix-env --description prints it as is. These tags are only used in the documentation postprocessed with xsltproc, which certainly will not work on arbitrary longDescriptions.

No problem. When I first saw it in axoloti I though it was just a mistake, but when I saw you use it I suspected that you knew why it's useful.

I guess I really wanted to believe that we could do some text formatting in the description!
Turns out I fooled myself... 😼
Motivation for this change
The former Google Code now officially redirects to this GH repo and there has been new dev since.
The 'fdupes-jody' patchset became the jdupes fork : see #26920
