The deb file needs to be decompressed then put together again since
doing binary diffs on gzip'ed files make very large diffs. Usually as
large as the file itself - making the diff completely pointless. Zsync
on compressed deb's would save no bandwidth.

I wonder if there is a way of making the checksums match...
