Bug Description

Binary package hint: deja-dup

When specifying symlink as exclude, target of symlink is marked as include (not exclude).
e.g. backing up encrypted /home/$USER, deja-dup unexpectedly includes /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.Private.

How to reproduce:
1. create symlink.
2. in deja-dup, specify symlink as exclude.

Expected result:
exclude symlink's target.

Actual result:
include symlink's target.

If I create symlink as exclude_folder_symlink -> exclude_folder_body and specify as exclude,
deja-dup outputs like
duplicity '--exclude=/home/user1/exclude_folder_symlink' '--include=/home/user1/exclude_folder_body'

Thanks for the fix.
I tested the fix for maverick, then I noticed FTBFS.
I submitted new bug report as Bug #632238.

Anyway, I can confirm this bug was fixed with "./autogen && make" which is described in the link below.
