Sorry, 'depends' wasn't the right terminology... 'suggests' would be 
more to the point, and to the best of my knowledge, those packages got 
pulled in when I installed duplicity.

machin-sin data # apt-cache depends duplicity
duplicity
  Depends: libc6
  Depends: librsync1
  Depends: python2.7
  Depends: python
  Depends: python
  Depends: python-gnupginterface
  Suggests: python-boto
  Suggests: ncftp
  Suggests: rsync
    rsync:i386
  Suggests: ssh
  Suggests: python-paramiko
  Conflicts: duplicity:i386

Although... I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be using the boto 
interface.  Maybe the rsync and ssh, eventually.

Okay.... that seems to be working so far - its further along than its 
ever been, and it hasn't started filling up the root partition, thank 
goodness.

Its a little stickier of a solution than I would prefer.  I think maybe 
its time for me to put a bug in the ear of the distro package 
maintainers and ask them nicely to update said package?
