The latter. Incremental backups (and also "exclude"/"include" processing) involve a "multi-layer" cordination between Amanda and the backup program, and there's no mechanism in there to detect that a new DLE happens to be a subset of some other DLE, or whatever. So Amanda has to treat each DLE separately, and start from scratch for a newly create one.
