provide xdelta[1] or bsdiff[2] files then? some stats:
7000: zip 13495279 bytes, image 20750832 bytes, changes 22681123 bytes
7001: zip 13481005 bytes, image 20679256 bytes, changes 22723916 bytes
7002: zip 13511250 bytes, image 20707776 bytes, changes 22798872 bytes


bsdiff files
7000-7001: image 299297 bytes, changes 5534 bytes
   total: 234831 bytes
7001-7002: image 981158 bytes, changes 11060 bytes
   total: 992268 bytes

they only work against the originally downloaded file, but that could be 
at least a usable workaround until there's some way to do a proper image 
update via MC.
