Regarding Comment #3, my understanding is that, if stored forever, this is encrypted in Gnome-Keyring with the user's login password rather than simply sitting around on the hard drive (though I have no idea what happens if you have it login automatically). I mainly point this out for any lurkers who come across the page.

Michael: I would be quite keen to encrypt to both a passphrase and my GPG key, as my GPG key may be destroyed, but I'm more likely to remember my passphrase for that if I still have a copy. Further, if you are looking for use-cases, it becomes a lot more sensible if you are talking about people with smartcards, which I understand are supported by duplicity.
