I was going to respond to the original by asking "what does suse
actually do" as they do have a patch mechanism.  It doesn't seem
to save a whole lot, I'm looking at 9.1 i586 updates and for the
main package, 58224kb while the patch package is 49728kb - and this 
is a minor update (build-number change, not minor version change).
