Well, I just have found a way to download single diffs out of bkbits, so I can probably just interface with that. Remember, I have to track only two files. Mine was the point of view of a small kernel worker, I maintain only one driver and I don't want to commit more resources to the task than what would be reasonable. The difference in storage space is measurable in several hundredth of megabytes, and that is a big gain on my poor resources.
However, that does not remove any value from your howto, that is both complete and useful.
