It may be a Good Idea to make certain that this issue is brought to the attention of the Debian package maintainer for amanda, hence the CC to Bdale Garbee. If this *isn't* fixed before Etch freezes (some time in December?) its unlikely that it will *ever* be fixed (since its not a security issue) and will remain broken until the next release of Debian. Thanks!
