The .delta.rpm is a way to deliver patches.
When is used delta vs. rpm that can answer some of YaST/zypper guys.
This is from 'man zypper':
------------------------------
Package Management Commands
zypper works with several types of resource objects, called
resolvables. A resolvable is a package, patch, pattern,
language, or a product.
package - all RPM packages including patch and delta packages
patch - update of the packages, it can include special scripts and
messages
pattern - group of packages
language - group of packages with language support
product - group of packages, which are necessary to install a product

Removal will happen if package is listed for removal in rpm, but how it lands
in that list can answer some of guys that actually do packaging.
