please complain to upstream; i don't use backblaze or any of the other
commercial storage services, and i don't care much about any of them.

the changelogs don't even hint at the new requirements, all they say
is "* Fixed bug #1654756 with new b2backend.py module from Vincent Rouille
- Faster (big files are uploaded in chunks)
- Added upload progress reporting support"
the manpages don't say anything about backblaze either.

as to 'has to be implemented' - the answer is yes: i use upstream's code,
and i make only the absolutely minimum number of required changes to make
it fit for debian. consequentially i will not attempt to create, curate and
keep alive a totally debian-specific variant of duplicity, just so
that module support can be cherry-picked.

i don't know. backblaze is one of many backends that duplicity claims
to support, backblaze is commercial and therefore i don't use it
and i don't care about it.
