"chmod -v g-w /usr/local/etc/" should get you past that specific error
message, at least. (But /usr/local/ might have the same problem....)
I suspect that no non-root users actually need write access to the
/usr/local/etc/ directory, but I am not using Weezy myself so I am not
sure.
(I can say that recent releases of Ubuntu use drwxr-xr-x root:root as
permissions+owner on /usr/local/etc/ instead.)

Right. The issue you are running into is that Debian's default setup
for this directory are incompatible with Amanda v3.5's new permission
checks on the the amanda-security.conf file. The Debian Amanda packages
avoid this problem by putting amanda-security.conf under /etc/ (which is
already not group-writable) instead.
