4. The new version maintains a new file /etc/amandates but does not
create it when it doesn't exist. This file needs to be manually
created on all amanda clients. I'm not sure if this should be
handled automatically by the build process, so I did not file a
PR for this.
As a side note, I've noticed that even after a successful backup
run, nothing has been entered into the /etc/amandates file that
I created. But the file must exist in order for the sendsize
(and presumably sendbackup) programs to work properly.
Upstream bug, perhaps. Should be in VARBASE/amanda, but that may be
hard.
