Huh? No package in RPM Fusion is packaged as delta/patch RPMs, our toolset
doesn't even support them. What we do is that we package a -freeworld RPM in
RPM Fusion which contains only the files not in the Fedora RPM (by not building
them if possible, or deleting them in %install otherwise), or if that's not
possible, which overrides the files from the Fedora RPM without conflicting
with it.

This chromaprint-tools package is already following the recommended approach.

Uhm, no, please only add '='-versioned dependencies on Fedora packages if
absolutely necessary (i.e. if the tools version x are not expected to work with
the library version y≠x)! '='-versioned dependencies mean the packages in
Fedora and RPM Fusion need to be pushed at exactly the same time, which in
practice can only be approximated, so there's always a window where the user
will not be able to update. Thus, please do not gratuitously add them when not
needed.
