Yes, there is. Package signatures are made using the compressed package.
Delta packages work by patching the uncompressed package and then
recompressing it. If the compressor works differently the verification of
the product will fail. I'm not sure xdelta3 in smart enough to compensate,
or if the needed information is even there.
