[Duplicity-talk] Deleting second backup set and attach/detach implementation

Hi
I was wondering if you could assist me with deleting the second backup only (Mon Apr 18) from the backup sets. The options remove-older-than, remove-all-but-n-full, remove-all-inc-of-but-n-full all seem to erase backup sets prior to a date, is it possible to specify a date range, in this case from 2011-04-18 to 2011-05-27?
I was under the impression that full backups are independent from each other so specify the above date range should erase that backup set and signatures, without it relying on the initial backup.
As a test, I executed duplicity remove-older-than 2011-04-18 --dry-run file:///path/to/backup and it lists everything prior to the date specified to be erased, but it can't be erased because newer backup sets require the initial backup set. So newer full backups do require the first initial full backup, is this correct and why?

Using temporary directory /tmp/duplicity-Cw0IbO-tempdir
-- Attach / Detach Backups -- I would be nice to have the ability to detach backups like the first backup and store it off site with something like: duplicity detach 0 file:///path/to/backup/ file:///path/to/storage
This will store the detached backup to file:///path/to/storage/0/
And then add it when required to look through older backup sets with: duplicity attach 0 file:///path/to/storage/ file:///path/to/backup
The above commands will copy any other required files such signatures as well from the specified archive_dir.
I know that programming this isn't is easy as mentioning it but, could it be considered as a future implementation?
Thank you for all your hard work and time in making this backup solution.
-- All the best,
Bruce
