The fix for this bug should be bacported ASAP to precise (12.04 LTS) since it renders amanda useless as a functional backup package. The bug only shows up when amanda is needed most - when data has been lost and needs to be restored from backups, which is unacceptable for a LTS release used in production and enterprise environments. The SRU Procedure referred to by logan is very obscure and the page he links to is long on what and when, and short on exactly how to get this process going. Perhaps one of the Ubuntu team would be kind enough to undertake to escalate Bug #1077105 (which provides a fix) accordingly and put the fix into consideration for backporting to the LTS version.
