Yes, Launchpad picked the wrong description. Here is the one that fixed
it:
deja-dup (35.4-0ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium
* New upstream release
- Adds support for GNOME Online Accounts
- Improves dynamic installation support for backend dependencies
- Fixes status icon in
@Michael Terry: The description of the patch does not seem to have
anything to do with this bug. Is this really fixed for Ubuntu?

Thanks Michael. I was worried that giving sudo authorisation to restore
files might have security implications.

One question, does that mean that the restored files outside $HOME will
be owned by root or have root permissions?

Exactly, my restore was to a location outside $HOME, however, that
location did not need super privileges for file operations. Deja Dup
could be smarter about that.

Amr, I don't know about your case specifically, but in Christopher's
case, it was because he was restoring to two different users' home
directories. Basically, anytime you are restoring outside your own home
directory, we go to root. We *could* try to be smarter there, but it
would be a fair
Thanks Michael. But should it prompt for authentication even for
restoring to only user locations? That what happened to me in Xenial. I
was restoring folders and files to a user location, which doesn't need
any super privileges for file operations, when that message came up.

Code in master should have a less cryptic message. Now says "Privileges
are required to restore files to system locations"

@Christopher Thank you for the settings. The option "org.gnome.DejaDup
root-prompt true" might cause this. I do not know (yet) when and why
this is set. This might need to be looked into by an developer. But the
prompt comes from Déjà Dup and should indicate so. I agree.
