Title:
  [Feature Request] support xz for compressing volumes

Status in Duplicity - Bandwidth Efficient Encrypted Backup:
  Opinion
Status in duplicity package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  xz offers a superior compression ratio at the cost of higher CPU load
  during creation of backup, but still decompresses (when you need it
  most) at a rapid pace. I don't know if it should be the default but
  adding it as an option could save yottabytes of bandwidth :)
