Title:
  Confusing log message in remove_all_inc_of_but_n_full mode

Status in Duplicity - Bandwidth Efficient Encrypted Backup:
  New

Bug description:
  I've just spent an hour trying to understand why duplicity was not
  deleting certain backup chains in "remove_all_inc_of_but_n_full" mode,
  despite say it was. On every run, with the same parameters, it would
  spit out:

  Last full backup date: Tue Sep  9 16:47:20 2014
  Deleting backup chains at times:
  Tue Jul 29 05:40:01 2014
  Wed Aug  6 05:40:01 2014
  Deleting incremental signature chain Wed Aug  6 05:40:01 2014
  Deleting incremental signature chain Wed Aug  6 05:40:01 2014
  Deleting incremental signature chain Tue Jul 29 05:40:01 2014
  Deleting incremental signature chain Tue Jul 29 05:40:01 2014
  Deleting incremental backup chain Wed Aug  6 05:40:01 2014
  Deleting incremental backup chain Tue Jul 29 05:40:01 2014

  It turns out that those are full backups, and that duplicity _would_
  have deleted any incremental chains attached to them (and probably has
  on some previous run.) The attached patch is my suggested rewording of
  the log message.
