A duplicity user sent me a link to a diagram of duplicity somewhere in
the debian or ubuntu networks, but for now I can't seem to find it.
I've been meaning to update the docs on the web site for a while, but a
couple of work deadlines have been in the way.

If you have specific questions about how it works, maybe I can address
them.  Its really not all that complicated.
