Bug#934413: .debs are old fashioned. e.g., Google Play makes smaller updates

Package: general Just the other day I noticed Google Play seems to make smaller updates than when installing an initial package. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1572812 So maybe instead of bulky .debs, Debian could do similar. Hmmm, http://debdelta.debian.net/

OK, but the user wonders "maybe the two sources aren't even aware of each other, that's why they are duplicating their work." And "Odd, some items in the Chrome Web Store are also available as Debian packages. Why the fuss?" All items for an FAQ. Anyway, I suppose the Chrome Web Store version

There must be some pros and cons you can list for users faced with the unfamiliar choice of which path to take. They can't be 100% equivalent certainly. If 100% equivalent then mention why the package exists.

Let's look at a typical "Download" page, https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/couchsurfing-inc/couchsurfing-travel-app/couchsurfing-travel-app-4-26-0-release/#downloads as we see dates are of utmost importance. Wherever we see a version number, we see a date. In fact I'm sure you would be hard pressed

Why doesn't whatever is translating / picking user numbers just start at 1100 or even 1050? All linux systems will have a 1000 conflict. And many might have a 1001 conflict. But when you get to 1050 I bet there are only e.g., Dreamhost shared servers, that probably won't be running anbox!
