Thanks Otto, is it more helpful if I wait until you have found a
solution for your bug 305 (version does not show correctly under
Debian/Ubuntu) before I file on Launchpad?

FYI, when I am using Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) with the standard version of
rdiff-backup (that was automatically upgraded from 1.2.8 when I
upgraded the system from 18.04), I see:

# rdiff-backup --version
rdiff-backup 2.0.0

so - no bug 305?
