That's strange. What does "apt-cache policy amanda-common" show? On my Lucid boxes I have amanda-common 1:2.6.1p1-2 installed, and the xinetd.d/amanda file that is installed is entirely set up for "bsd" authentication (so both protocol=udp and server_args containing "-auth-bsd "). Anyway, hopefully making the change Jean-Louis mentioned will get you going on this machine.
