- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Any (preferred this to be in upstream Debian)
- HEADLINE: binary diff updates for apt-get.
- DESCRIPTION: I have seen Fedora updates as binary diffs. It is very small, uses less bandwidth and space, and gets installed faster.
This request isn't really for Ubuntu 17.10 though (I don't know if there is enough time for this). And I don't wish (actually I hate) this to be an Ubuntu specific feature. I wish this to be an upstream (Debian) feature.
For vanilla Debian you can use "debdelta". It is not integrated to apt-get and it misses a lot of packages but still helps a lot compared to downloading full packages. Ubuntu would need a separate delta server for it to be usable for their packages.
