Ok, I can do it.
Should I use the git repository?
Just looking through cgit, I can ask you the following things:

* https in Vcs-Git please
* standards-version to 3.9.7
* version restriction on tar can go away, and tar being essential:yes
  the whole dep can go away
* are you sure the perl dep is needed?  ${perl:Depends} ought to do it
* guessing you are using git-buildpackage, why didn't you just
  `gbp import-dsc` to import the NMU?
* please push the tag for the upstream part
* you have a build-dep on debhelper version >= 9, but you use compat 5.
  please bump the compat, after checking the differences in debhelper(7)
* the *.dirs files don't need to list directories for files installed by
  other dh_* things, so I'm confident at least line 3,4,5 of
  amanda-server.dirs are useless, haven't looked at the others
* I'm not happy with the old style rules file, but guess I can't ask
  that much in this case, and I can live well with it anyway :)

↑ that's the kind of things I want to see changed for me to sponsor it.
If you confirm I should look at the git repository and you're ok with me
as a sponsor please confirm so (and fix the already reported problems,
please ;))
