deltarpms not working since rawhide was signed

As stated by Jonathan Dieter in the bug below, deltarpms are mucking 
up rawhide updates right now because the drpms were created before the 
packages were signed, and the signed versions don't match the deltarpm 
reconstructed versions.  For me at least, this is causing a problem 
because I'm not using a mirrorlist right now (too many problems with 
metalink mismatches).  So when yum fails to accept the drpm-patched 
package, the yum update just fails outright because there are no more 
mirrors to get the full updated package from.

Is there anything that can be done on the infastructure side as 
proposed below?

This is not a deltarpm bug or a yum-presto bug, but rather an 
Infrastructure bug.  The deltarpm was created before the target rpm 
was gpg signed.  So it does indeed build to a valid rpm with exactly 
the same data as the downloaded rpm, but without the signature.  
Because it's not exactly the same file, yum refuses to use it and 
redownloads the full (signed) rpm (which is what it should do).

The infrastructure should either delete and regenerate drpms after the 
rpm signatures have changed or they should use the code fragment from 
https://fedorahosted.org/koji/ticket/38#comment:3 to attach rpm 
signatures to deltarpms.

Not sure how to reassign to Infrastructure.
