I wasn't aware they'd ever been approached, but it sounds good to me.
Michael Schroeder, upstream for deltarpm, normally follows this list,
but I'm CC'ing him anyhow.
We're using lzma (now xz) compressen since openSUSE 11.0 (released
almost a year ago), so it's indeed pretty trivial.
(Regarding "merging": it's a standalone tool. You could bundle it
with rpm, though.)
Cheers,
Michael.
