lib/python/debian_support.py:

  Add support for downloading package file diffs.

bin/apt-update-file:
  Driver script for the new functionality.

(I will use this functionality to implement package database
replication.  The goal is to keep a local copy of all the interesting
data, so that we no longer need to consult madison etc.)
