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.
