Actually, no.  The latest and best duplicity versions are in the ppa
package.  Ubuntu, and others, lock the version when a release is made.
For example, version 0.7.19 is the current version in the ppa, but it's
not in any apt repository.  Instead, much earlier versions are there and
do not get fixes or improvements, so I normally recommend upgrading
using the duplicity ppa with apt.

As to pip, much the same goes there.  There are versions on pip that far
exceed what is on the distro's apt repository.  Some of those are needed
to keep the duplicity backends running, since the hosts may randomly
change the API after successfully getting the last version working.

It's not apt I don't like, it does it's job.  It's the policy of locked
versions that causes me a lot of grief and needless bug reports for
packages that are years older than they should be.
