AFAIK, suse does use .delta.rpm as can be found here
http://www.filewatcher.com/b/ftp/ftp.cs.pu.edu.tw/pub2/SuSE/suse/update/10.1/rpm/i586.0.0.html

Tried to guess their naming convention, it seems something like
"newVer_oldVer-release", not sure why there is a single release, and it's
not even consistent. I'm trying to lookup some info on their naming
convention.
