This package has gone unmaintained for several years both in Debian
and at upstream (https://github.com/jmacd/xdelta), and the website
(xdelta dot org) is defunct. We do however have lots of packages in
Debian depending on this, so I intend to sort out the situation and
thus taking ownership to avoid duplicate/conflicting work.
