rdiff-backup has no concept of backup levels and cannot selectively
purge revisions.  If you want to emulate backup levels with
rdiff-backup, you're going to need a lot more space and use a separate
backup location for each level, which more or less negates any benefit
gained from using levels.

I'm not sure that implementing backup levels in rdiff-backup would
provide a huge space savings - rdiff-backup just stores the difference
between two revisions, and if the file doesn't change much, no big
deal, small diff.
