Bug#1034702: backupninja: changed rdiffbackup logs "WARNING: this command line interface is deprecated"

[Jens Ritter]

Package: backupninja
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

* What led up to the situation?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***

Running backupninja creates warnings-logs while removing old backups :
WARNING: this command line interface is deprecated and will disappear, start using the new one as described with '--new --help'

In the FAQ this is mentioned for another option:
https://rdiff-backup.net/FAQ.html#why_does_rdiff_backup_complain_about_command_line_interface_being_deprecated_even_though_im_using_the_new_syntax

Chaning the line 177 in /usr/share/backupninja/rdiff:

removestr="$RDIFFBACKUP $options --force --remove-older-than $keep "
to
removestr="$RDIFFBACKUP $options remove increments --older-than $keep "

seams to help.
