Regarding an automated test for this new feature (support of $HOME/subdir and 
$XDG_SPECIAL_USER_DIRECTORY/subdir): I don't know how to write automated tests 
for Déjà-Dup, but I explained how I tested my patch in bug 1549776 comment 14. 
Perhaps we can use these explanations as the basis for a test.

I have tried to do so in the following file, adapted from 
libdeja/tests/scripts/excludes.test. This is only a draft, and it doesn't pass 
"make check": it looks like in tests, despite my previous patch about the test 
shell, $HOME is still the actual user's home directory, instead of a fake home 
directory in /tmp, and the XDG Special User Directories are not created in the 
/tmp/deja-dup-test-* directories, so it can't be tested if they are 
appropriately taken into account.

I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge to take it further.
