It was fairly recent (less than a week ago) and have only been applied to unstable, testing and experimental[1]. Mind you, that PDiff were *not* created retroactively. If you last update was prior to the addition of PDiffs, apt would have to download the full Sources (or Translation) file to catch up. Though from here on, you should see it use PDiffs. Thanks, ~Niels [1] Not entirely sure if PDiffs will appear for stable. If they do, they will only happen at the next point-release.
