A deltarpm's header is identical to a rpm's header (except that the
payload format is "drpm"), so it will always be seen as an rpm by file.
That's true for "header" deltarpms, but "rpm-only" delta rpms
start with "drpm".
I'm not sure about deltaiso.
They start with "DISO" and then 4 bytes deltaiso version in network
byte order.
