 > So, to be clear wrt the basics the general update strategy on Android is
 just to get a new .apk over the old one, right? Or is there a cleverer one

 It sounds like the Google Play Store update mechanism uses deltas. See:

 smaller-app-downloads.html

 For F-Droid, they have an open issue for that feature:
