Part of the auto-remove functions:

I think we need to be careful with this particular flag and should keep it completely separate from backup operations or startup. In my mind, it makes the most sense to include it into it's own operation. I was planning on it living in the "autoremove" group of functions, along with combining of snapshots and deleting of backup sets. It should also run on its own batch process, that can also be scheduled separately (or offer an option so that it can run at the same time as the batch backup operation; this second option would be my preference). There is already a dedicated button in the Gui for running it. Because it meshes with the combination of snapshots, I would prefer to see this
targeted to the 0.3 series rather than the 0.4 release.

in the duplicity-bin i have found code easy to figure out
