This is completely correct.  To my knowledge, this is how Amanda has
always calculated these statistics (we are pretty careful to run the
old and new amreports on a bunch of identical real-world logfiles and
check that the results are the same).

So the question is: should the report be updated to make this clearer?
 And if so, how?  This might be a good place for someone to do a bit
of hacking on the new Amanda::Report::human module..
