The bzr branch seems gone too, or is it me?

I also googled and there was a bug against gentoo ebuild about
disappearing tarballs.

I'm trying to maintain duplicity in FreeBSD ports and the introduction
of this dependency is slightly worrysome unless proper releases can be
found. I'm sure pkgsrc/gentoo and such will have similar issues.

I am not snowed into distutils and gettext. How difficult would it be
to avoid this dependency? On py-distutils-extra I mean, not on
gettext. Given that duplicity is backup software, it may be warranted
to go to some extra lengths to avoid depending on third party software
whose distribution/ubiquity is questionable; especially if it relates
to installation only.
