..instead of being named deja-dup, the folder can contain a file called:
.deja-dup
..with some basic info about the backup. This allows other software to
fine the folder without much difficulty.
in pseudocode, instead of:
if folder_exists('deja-dup'):
#do stuff
..it would be:
for folder in folder_list():
if file.exists(folder + '/.deja-dup'):
#do stuff
..which isn't significantly more difficult.
..also, during setup, you could prompt the user for a name, and have a default
like "backup".
..plus, this has the benefit of being self-contained, and doesn't put
pressure on other projects (nautilus) to handle the naming.
