You can upgrade easily in Debian/Ubuntu machines by using my automated 
build script:

http://files.smidsrod.no/build_duplicity.sh.txt

Just remember to aptitude update before running the script.

BTW: I've noticed that there is some oddity in the Ubuntu distribution 
upgrade scripts, so I would suggest that you uninstall duplicity and 
python-pexpect (using aptitude/apt-get) before installing these versions 
from source. It confused the upgrade-tool for me (something about not 
being able to remove a python dir because it had files in it or 
something, can't remember the message right now).

BTW2: I don't think it's possible to run this script as a normal user, 
you probably need to be root.

Ken: You're welcome to put it in the contributions page and/or in the 
contrib dir in duplicity itself. Use same license as duplicity. Just 
remember attribution. :)
