I sympathize, but there are some problems with a sensible name like "backups":
* It would need to be translated
* Translation means if the user changes their language, their default backup
location would change (do we offer to rename the remote folder? Keep using old
translation?)
* Translation means it would be harder in the future to automatically detect a
backup folder to restore from [1]
And the problem with 'deja-dup/' is somewhat mitigated by introducing
the name the first time the user uses the program and in the help
documentation. Though admittedly, that is not much branding
(intentionally).
In summation, I'm not sure how to fix this or whether we want to.
[1] There are other solutions for this, like scanning for folders two
levels deep that contain duplicity-*.difftar.gz files or some such

Bug description:
When the user chooses to synchronise their backups on their desktops
via Ubuntu One, the name of the directory they are given to keep them
in is not user friendly. While deja-dup is indeed the name of the
backup application shipped with Ubuntu, no reference is made to this
anywhere whithin either the software or documentation. I propose that
this folder be renamed 'Backups', or a variation on a theme.
I'm not sure if this issue needs to go upstream. Does anyone know if
it does?
