Yes, the big advantage of duplicity when I first started using it long
ago was that it used public key encryption, so the remote backup was
encrypted but couldn't be decrypted without information not present on
the being-backed-up machine. I thought that was a pretty fine idea.
And that property is now broken.

I was sort of assuming the issue would be dealt with in the fullness
of time, and in the meantime at least I'd have backups, even if I
needed to open up a private key during the backup process which seems
like a pretty bad idea.

Of course, the shorter this window of
not-properly-using-asymmetric-encryption is open the happier I'll be.
