Package: cupt
Version: 2.5.7
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

On my Debian 'unstable', with a 5K/sec modem for internet,
sometimes an upgrade/update cycle lists many big files with 
no currently available debdeltas, which means 400M or so to 
download, a 23 hour upgrade (ideal case).

It would be useful if users with low bandwidth could 
run an update/upgrade cycle that offered available 
debdeltas only.  The CLI interface might look like:

    # update deltas
    cupt debdelta-update
    ...
    
    # upgrade with only deltas
    cupt debdelta-only-upgrade
    ...

Benefits include: In some cases it would make systems safer 
faster, as would be the case when a needed upgrade has deltas 
available, which would otherwise wait behind a 23 hour queue.
(i.e. a 23 hour window of vulnerability.)  It needn't slow anything 
down, since the user could always run 'debdelta-only-upgrade' first, 
then opt for a standard upgrade.  Also saves user time, electricity,
phone bandwidth, and server bandwidth.  


I'm not sure if the debdelta infrastructure as of 7/2012 provides an 
easy way to do this.  If not, something extra would need to be 
added to debdelta to make it work.

HTH...
