It seems that duplicity does not yet support asian buckets although I
assume they will.  It also seems that the --s3-european-buckets arg is
only required on bucket creation:

In that case as far as UI is concerned it seems more appropriate to
have that as a one-time option in the assistant instead of the
settings (although they look very similar to me). This means that the
code that's talking to Backend will need to support this one-time
option notion.  I am quite new to the codebase but will take a look a
bit later on.  The good news is that there is no data loss in relation
to a region option.
