This bug is a duplicate. Pdiff support is quite difficult to implement
and would need support from APT and dak which doesn't exist, so I am
actually inclined to mark this issue as whishlist and maybe forwarding
it to APT.
But for now, marking it as dupe is enough.

In any case, from your log it looks like you could *drastically*
reduce the amount of downloaded icons via
`apt purge apt-config-icons-large`
That way, you won't download the 128x128px icons. Keep in mind though
that in this case, the 128x128px icons may be fetched from Debian's
server individually when they are needed.
Unlike the smaller icons, the big ones aren's strictly required in the cache.

Cheers,
