Now that compression and signing no longer seem to be an issue we could probably start ripping the archive apart and see if deltaing individual files helps in decreasing the delta size. I am not sure if xdelta is block oriented or works sequentially like diff -u or diff -c. If it is block oriented creating algorithms that delta binaries in a diff like way is also a possibility to reduce the size of the deltas.
