"src_labelstr" v.s. "labelstr" in Planner.pm

(Jean-Louis,)

I was trying to see if I could exand the (new) amvault.8 paragraph about
--src_labelstr with a little more detail... and along the way discovered
while looking through Amanda/Recovery/Planner.pm that the make_plan()
subroutine references both $params{'src_labelstr'} and
^$params{'labelstr'}.

I see that Restore.pm uses the "labelstr" parameter in its call to
make_plan while Vault.pm uses "src_labelstr", and further that
the src_labelstr value simply gets passed down into the
DB::Catalog::get_dumps() call, while the "labelstr" version is processed
within make_plan() later on -- but I was wondering if you could give a
short explaination of what the different is between the two (i.e. why
both these parameters exist)?

Thanks.
