Which package exactly do you have in mind? thin_delta tool is part of
device-mapper-persistent-data package, which in fc25-based dom0 is at
0.6.3. Is it this package you're talking about?

If that doesn't poll enormous amount of dependencies (which I understand
it doesn't), then I'm fine with that. We already have linux-dom0-updates
repository, with script to easily pull and rebuild packages from fc28.
That would be device-mapper-persistent-data 0.7.5. Would that work for
you?
