I'm running 16.04 and attempting to use the builtin Backup program which is a wrapper around deja-dup. I'm trying to target an SSH server for backups, as it will use rsync block comparisons and be the most efficient. However, the SSH server has disabled RSA public key authentication and only supports ecdsa and ed25519.

Backup is using gnome-keyring by default, so it refuses to connect to SSH. From /var/log/auth.log:

May 23 15:10:42 hollywood gnome-keyring-daemon[1599]: Unsupported or unknown SSH key algorithm: ssh-ed25519

Thus, this bug is making other builtin tools less useful as well.
