Package: duplicity
Version: 0.6.18-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When using scp or sftp as a backend with the default SSH-backend it
becomes unpossible to use a non-standard port (!=22).
If you upgrade to Wheezy the --ssh-options="-o Port 3232" won't be used
anymore due to paramiko. In duplicity v0.6.19 ssh_config support was
added. So the current packages and configurations break existing backup
setups and limits the usability of Backupninja. I see a couple of
possible solutions:

- add a note to the release notes (and/or other appropriate places)
- get the one from Sid (haven't looked at dependencies and such)

Obviously the note would be the easiest, but personally I consider the
current behavior to be stupid enough to warrant a bigger change.

Changing the default backend to pexpect would be another option but that
only arrived in Duplicity 0.6.19 - which isn't available in testing.

Curious to hear your opinion on how to deal with this,
Kwadronaut
