unfortunately not. you are right totally right, but as it stands it is
implemented like that right now. you are welcome to provide a patch though ;)

that guy creates daily independent backup chains, meaning the next day no full
prefixed '${BACKUP_DATE}_' and a new one chain is started. probably not what
you want.
a workaround is moving backup data (chains) on the backend into different
folders effectively limiting the amount of chains the duplicity restore run
sees. not elegant, but works.
and again. if you need it, you are welcome to contribute it ..ede/duply.net
