Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
It's not a bug, but I was wondering whether anybody has thought of using a diff-algorithm for making updates, for example as described here: http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/ or http://www.daemonology.net/papers/thesis.pdf I don't have any knowledge concerning this but perhaps the person writing the thesis. I only ask because perhaps it is more economical just to transfer changes than the whole package, even for binary files.
