Work on delta debs was being done in
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/Spec/DeltaDebs amongst other places,
but it kind of stopped a bit. Deltas are getting harder and harder to
justify with increasing speeds and less and less data caps, but it's
certainly something I'm interested in developing.
I believe my format is fairly solid. The problem with debdelta was that
it was incredibly slow, to the point where using it outside of dialup
(well, I did not measure it, it might be a hyperbole) would basically be
pointless.

Title:
debdelta integration / zsync support
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in apt package in Baltix:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu should, like Mandrake 10.2, Firefox 1.5 and Windows, update packages
using binary patches instead of by re-downloading entire packages. This would
be
especially helpful when running beta versions of software which change daily.
