Package: general

Just the other day I noticed Google Play seems to make smaller updates
than when installing an initial package.

So maybe instead of bulky .debs, Debian could do similar.

Hmmm,
http://debdelta.debian.net/
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDebdeltaSupport
https://askubuntu.com/questions/916846/why-isnt-debdelta-used-by-default-in-ubuntu

Well all I know is Google Play succeeded.
