thanks!
sorry to bother you again, but i just now realize that the descriptions for the
manpage are still missing! could you please add them after --file-prefix in
bin/duplicity.1 ? the syntax is quite obvious and can be checked via 'man -l
bin/duplicity.1' with gnu man.
you could probably group the options together with one explanation text as they
essentially do the same just to different files.
