I am trying to package amanda 3.5 for Debian. Where the user for
backups is "backup" and during the packaging I have to manually set
the correct permissions of the binaries, specially group owner and
setuid bits.
For example my VM for testing amanda have:
backup@debian-at:~$ ls -alF /usr/lib/amanda/
total 892

But I got this warning from amcheck:

(brought to you by Amanda 3.5)
Is the permissions of the binaries in /usr/lib/amanda correct?
Kind regards
