There is one package already using that executable name:
$ apt-file search bin/delta
...
swap-cwm: /usr/bin/delta
In general, it is a bad idea to use generic names because of the
potential for namespace conflicts (in $PATH, package names etc).
A rebrand to something like diff-syntax-highlight or git-delta might
be a good idea.
