Public bug reported:

When running backup with duplicity, it cannot handle sparse files
efficiently.

I have a virtual machine image on my home dir,

26G -rw-r--r-- 1 libvirt-qemu kvm 33G huhti 28 08:59 dev02.img

And duplicity is backing it up 33G, when it should only back up 26G.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use qemu-image to create a sparse file
2. Run duplicity
3. Observe duplicity back it up whole instead of very small size
