+       dup:
+        . General cleanup
+        . Better support for new duplicity (>= 0.4.4) command line syntax:
+          run remove-older-than when $keep is not set to yes (Closes: #458816),
+          and run "duplicity cleanup" before any other duplicity command; both
+          only trigger a warning on failure, since they should not stop backups
+          from being done. Also migrated full/incremental backup switch to the
+          new syntax.
+       ldap:
+        . support HDB backend just as the BDB one, and make message clearer
+          when no supported backend is found (Closes: #476910)

+          into options via remote-schema not already specified (Closes: #424639)
+       wget:
+        . New handler from rhatto designed to incrementally pull content from
+          a website to a local folder, based on the rsync handler
+       maildir:
+        . fixed bug where maildirs that start with a number were skipped.
+        . make deleted maildirs record the date they were deleted
