Just a comment --
Cursory testing shows that makedeltarpm is not good at this -- it doesn't

without -r
It may take a little more tweaking, but the options for "makedeltarpm" are
pretty sparse. We can try talking to the maintainer this week also...

I don't think we currently ship deltarpm on RHV-H, but it's a very small

RPM, but I'll test...
