just a cosmetic but nonetheless an improvement request. we have a jungle of options already which grows kind of wildly .. the new options might fit in more structured when named like

--file-prefix-manifest
--file-prefix-...

as manifest and archive are written out words you might consider doing the same with signature.

thanks ..ede/duply.net
