IMHO, authority deduplication is similar to authority unlink/link. Consider two terms like
"Bargioni, Stefano, 1959-" linked to N1 biblios
and
"Bargioni, Stefano" linked to N2 biblios.
You need to unlink N2 biblios from the second term, i.e. link them to the first one.
Deduplication can be automatic, while the step of choosing term-from and term-to for unlink/link biblios must be manual.
I added this comment to bug 7419 http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7419.
