Was thinking the same - compression machinery, ordering of the files,
everything. It'd be a nightmare to ensure you get back the same .deb,
without a single different bit.

Debian packaging toolchain could be reworked to use a more GIT-like
approach - off the top of my head, at least

  - signing/validating the "tree" of the package rather than the
completed package could allow the savings in distribution you mention,
decouple the signing from the compression, and simplify things like
debdiff

  - git or git-like strategies for source packages

cheers,
