Package: backupninja
Version: 1.0.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When running duplicity with the "--extra-clean" flag, it removes used signatures
and makes difficult to restore backups older than the last full backup, as
reported here[1].

Also, this was added to backupninja to workaround a bug in duplicity that does
not exist anymore since duplicity >=0.6.20, as you can see here[2].

And debian stable ships with duplicity > 0.6.20, so it only breaks things this
"--extra-clean" flag used in backupninja.

Please apply the patch in [2] to backupninja in stable, as it breaks the restore
of old backups for no good reason (it's just a bug). As you can see, the patch
checks for the version, so it's safe to even apply for all other versions
maintained, even if they ship with an older version of duplicity.

For my use case, jessie and testing are the most important, and in any case
those are the only ones that ship with a fixed version of duplicity.




Thanks a lot,
Rodrigo
