Sigh. It seems we're using a too *new* version of xdelta. It used to work.
Now, excerpts from NEWS:
* This version is a complete rewrite, and removes some of the features
available in version 0.
- Automatic detection and un-archival of RPM and dpkg file formats
has been removed. Automatic uncompression of gzipped files is
still supported.
Well, bleh!
