Bug Description
It seems that duplicity does not preserve the timestamp (specifically modification time) of symbolic links.
Test case:
1. Create some symbolic links in a directory A (possibly broken links, doesn't matter). Wait a minute or so.
2. duplicity A file://B
3. duplicity file://B C
Expected: same timestamp shown with ls -l as in directory A
Actual: timestamp of symbolic links is the time of restore (step 3) instead
Does not affect normal files, just symbolic links.
