But, following statements from g-c-c maintainers and designers,
if/when deja-dup will become an official GNOME System Settings panel,
then there will no more Deja Dup, but simply a generic "GNOME Backup
Service" (remember? no brand for core stuff).

Also I suppose you'll also need to split deja^W gnome-backup in two
modules: the panel UI in gnome-control-center and the message tray
icon (and daemon) in gnome-system-settings (see external media
handling feature extracted from nautilus in 2.3x -> 3.0 transition).
