[clug] Debian session for any Choobs?

[Francis Markham]

While we are on the subject, does anyone know of a simple way to configure
apt to only download diffs of package updates rather than the whole
package?  Redownloading the whole package for a single security fix can be
infuriating over a slow connection.

Cheers,

Francis
