On further investigation, unfortunately, I realize it is not a file list
that Déjà-Dup passes to duplicity collection-status, but the path/URL of
the backup repository, e.g.:

  duplicity collection-status [options] file://home/luke/deja-dup

This is what duplicity expects for this action, according to the man
page. So it might be trickier than I thought to have duplicity not
examine certain files, and perhaps this bug would be better solved on
duplicity's side than on Déjà-Dup's side.

Worst case, if the bug can't be fixed and the situation requires a human
to examine the contents of the backup repository to take adequate
action, then duplicity should return a more descriptive message than the
current terse assertion error.
