Hi Rich!

I'm not gonna drop rdiff-backup, since I use it @home to backup my 
laptop to an USB drive and @work to backup remotely. It uses rsync's 
protocol but it keeps differential (a.k.a. "reverse incremental") 
backups instead of hard-linked copies.

I'd like feedback from people actually using rdiff-backup to see if an 
upgrade to 2.0.5 will be too disruptive, or if a -legacy package is 
warranted.

Thanks!
