I marked this as Won't Fix. Duplicity runs on many distros and needs
close to 30 packages if you were to supply them all at install time. The
basic install is around 15. I have found that some distro's, Ubuntu
included, lock the version of the package and will not update it except
to fix a critical error. I recommend pip because it supplies the most
current version as well as allowing easy regression to a previous
version of a Python package. If you wish to use apt to get the B2
package, I see no harm, but I have not tested against whatever version
they supply.

Title:
B2 Python APIs are missing
Status in Duplicity:
Won't Fix
Status in duplicity package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When I try to use the B2 backend with
0.7.16-0ubuntu1ppa1347~ubuntu16.04.1, I get the following error:
> BackendException: B2 backend requires B2 Python APIs (pip install
b2)
It seems odd to me that the library would be installed outside of apt.
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.
