Chris,
We could help if you tell us what doesn't work.

I have a group of amanda servers and clients that are all Ubuntu 14.04

Now I'm trying to set up a new client that is Ubuntu 16.04. I saw that
the aptitude had amanda 3.3.6, common, server, and client packages.
So, I thought, hey, that will make things easy.
Not.
So, it seems they built the package with user backup, home directory
/var/backups, and shell /usr/sbin/nologin. There doesn't seem to be
any readme or install or configure instructions anywhere explaining
how it has been built and how it has to be set up to function. I had
assumed it would be largely ready to go, with instructions on what
configuration remained to be done.
I also haven't been able to find much of anything through google.
Does anyone have any guidance on this? Or should I just rip it out and
build from source? Amanda is one of the few things that I have
continued to build from source since I switched from Solaris to Ubuntu
several years ago. All the other major packages get patches and
security updates fairly regularly, so it pays to stick with aptitude.
