Ok. As I maintain backupninja's dup handler, I wonder if I'm going
to apply your patch, which is quite hard to document actually:
proposing the user an option that he/she has to set for duplicity
>=0.4.2, and that is ignored for previous versions, can be quite

I tend to think I'm simply going to keep the current code, and clearly
state (in the example.dup file and in NEWS.Debian) that the sshoptions
option has to be fed in a scp *and* sftp-compatible way, using the
"-o" workaround for example.
