First up, a patch to get lexical.pm to limit itself to the correct pool
when searching for the last-used tape:

This patch never got commited to the Amanda repo, but it did work well
when applied manually on my system, and has been applied
as a custom patch in the official Debian package for about a year (
 https://salsa.debian.org/debian/amanda/blob/master/debian/patches/30-lexical
) with no issues as far as I have heard....
