Thats amazeing to me, and a bit of an enlightenment regarding the
maintainers of debian. See <http://www.amanda.org>, its a program
thats been usable, and yet still in active development for well over
a decade now. I'm currently running the 2.4.5b1-20050329 release.
There are, from time to time, packages built for the various packaging
systems, but the tarball is so easy to build I haven't used anythng
else now in 7+ years.
