You may wish to have a look at :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/542482 "
Offer command to remove old incremental backups from target"

I tried and implement a new command "remove-all-inc-of-but-n-full" which
is supposed to help keep old full backups (and not their subsequent
incremental ones), which should help with your needs, I think.

There's a proposed implementation in Bzr that just waits for someone to
do more testing.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
