With the update 5.7 the "amanda (10080/tcp)" service was removed for a 
"historical or not actually used" reason which is obviously wrong, because 
amanda is still well used over plain TCP where there is no need to use ssh with 
its implied overhead (within LAN etc.) and is still present in Debian packages.

This update breaks:

1) amanda service in xinetd: "Port not specified and can't find service: amanda 
with getservbyname". Workaround: specify the listen port explicitly.
2) amanda connections from hosts with netbase-5.7 to remote amanda clients when 
there is no explicit specification of client-port in the dumptype definition: 
amanda is now not able to properly determine the remote port to connect to. 
Workaround: specify the client-port parameter explicitly.

I'd expect the 10080/tcp entry to stay present in /etc/services as long as 
amanda is alive.
