nay, that is only about payload, but most drpms consist of >90% metadata (so not payload) and that is why they are so compressible. And even normal rpms have as much metadata (just the ratio is different).
How about "let's only store max. N lines of changelog in rpm metadata" (and just put the rest into the package in /usr/share/doc/packages/%name/old-rpm-changelog.txt)
The "right" N is probably hard to determine.
