To be honest I'm not sure; I don't think there were any huge changes in the way 
duplicity constructs the encrypted difftar files, but to be safe I'd just start 
fresh. You don't want to find it says it works the end up with a restore issue 
at a critical time; backups should be conservative. (Generally a good idea 
periodically anyway, you don't want a very long incremental chain.)
