hmm, i've got no really good idea what to do about this relationship
between duplicity and the very very optional backblaze module(s).

as far as i'm aware there's no easy way for the package management system
to specify a conditional relationship like 'if you want to use duplicity
with backblaze then you need python3-b2sdk'.

i'm certainly not going to make duplicity depend on python3-b2sdk
because it's not needed for most users of the package.

i guess i'll have a look at adding something to the news and readme files
and shipping upstream's requirements.txt as part of the docs (as that
document lists the python module names needed for various backends).

regards
az
