Public bug reported:
I've just spent an hour trying to understand why duplicity was not
deleting certain backup chains in "remove_all_inc_of_but_n_full" mode,
despite say it was. On every run, with the same parameters, it would
spit out:
Last full backup date: Tue Sep 9 16:47:20 2014
Deleting backup chains at times:
Tue Jul 29 05:40:01 2014
Wed Aug 6 05:40:01 2014

It turns out that those are full backups, and that duplicity _would_
have deleted any incremental chains attached to them (and probably has
on some previous run.) The attached patch is my suggested rewording of
the log message.
