Did the upgrade. On the build machine, apt dist-upgrade removed the
zmanda packages. So much for testing the old ones! I have rebuilt and
re-installed them.
amcheck was successful.
amdump returned an error code of 2 but got a successful backup. I was
able to run amrecover and successfully diff against the original.
On the non-build test bed machine, I then removed the old packaged and
used gdebi to install it. I got:
Do you want to install the software package? [y/N]:y

I did not get that on the build machine. Nor does it appear to be
fatal. A quick search in the source did not turn up any place the
amanda code might have it.
amcheck was successful, with a return value of 0.
amdump returned 2 and got a successful backup, and a successful
amrecover.
Conclusions:
* Rebuilding the packages may be necessary. I did not try installing the
old packages on the test bed machine.
* Re-installing them appears to be necessary (especially if apt
dist-upgrade removes it).
