0.7.15 included a rewrite of the b2 backend to be much faster. The rewrite uses the official b2 API, not web access, thus the need for the package.

I had an old package from trusty (duplicity_0.7.14-0ubuntu0ppa1316~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb) with 0.7.14 which works fine on 16.04, which makes me think this regression was in 0.7.15 or 0.7.16.
