I'm converting this bug report to a question, as it doesn't appear to be a bug in Déjà-Dup (upstream or package), but a support request after an installation failure.

Please comment and/or convert the question back to a bug if more help is needed and/or more information can be provided and/or it turns out to be a bug.
