What I do to use debdelta with aptitude, is the following:

* Any package scheduling change updates the amount of needed downloads
in the status line (top right).
Indeed, I do the same. Moreover, I generally specify manually the list
of packages to upgrade in debdelta-upgrade invocation (which is why I'd
like aptitude integration in the first place) to the same list I
selected in aptitude.
When having limited bandwidth, I have to hand-pick upgrades.
One way to get this working would be with APT::Update::Post-Invoke hook,
what /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80debtags does. This would work today for
"full" debdelta upgrades that were going to be applied immediately
(otherwise it would download potentially unapplied upgrades).
I am not sure if there's a good way for packages running on these hooks
to receive the list of packages to be installed/upgraded.
In that case, a kind of APT::"Install"::Pre-Invoke (if "Install" or
equivalent would exist, I don't think that it does now) would be ideal.
Cheers.
