To sum up the problems I expect : * xdelta will be inefficient with xz packages since it does not recognize it * when it recognizes it, the sync.c code will need to be updated.
The good part is that it is very easy to add xz support to xdelta, just a one line patch : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=552545#p552545 Also we do not have the same problem than with gzip timestamps. the md5sum of the patched file is identical without any tricks. I wonder about bzip2. In any cases, the sync.c code will needs to be patched, and maybe it is possible to do it now by reworking the code a bit, to support both the current and future situation.
