  Description     : Tools to create and apply deltarpms

This will bring the deltarpm package back into Debian. It was removed as
part of the clean-up of the old Python-2-only createrepo-related tools;
however, it is now possible to use deltarpm with the new set of
createrepo-c/libmodulemd2/libdrpm0 packages, and it will help run
the libdrpm upstream testsuite to its full extent.

This is the long description of the package:
 A deltarpm contains the differences between an old and a new version of
 an RPM. This makes it possible to recreate the new RPM from the
 deltarpm and the old RPM.
 .
 On Debian and derived systems these tools may be useful for creating
 and maintaining repositories of RPM packages.

I will maintain this package as part of the Debian RPM packaging team.
