Comment 31 for bug 1039511

Edgar Solin, one of the main devs for duplicity provided some comments on
the patch a few months back:

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/duplicity-talk/2013-01/msg00008.html

TL;DR: Glacier's method of archive retrieval doesn't match up very well
with how duplicity works.

I'm still interested in doing more work on this, just looking for the time
:-)
