That move would "break" gzip and likely cause a lot of confusion,
especially on a multi-user system.
I make a /usr/local/etc/amanda/bin directory and make symbolic links in
that directory to tar and gzip. I compiled amanda to always use
/usr/local/etc/amanda/bin/tar and /usr/local/etc/amanda/bin/gzip. If I
wanted to use bzip2 instead of gzip, I would just change
/usr/local/etc/amanda/bin/gzip to be a symbolic link to the bzip2
executable.
My setup works great because I can restore backups of any client on any
other client regardless of the system-dependent location of gzip and
GNUtar.
