I was able to build packages for 3.5.2 after applying the fix mentioned in

https://github.com/zmanda/amanda/issues/185

Installing the packages over the packages coming from the Debian 
repositories seems a bit tricky:

the new packages use the user "amandabackup", so far it was "backup"

the path to amandad seems to change as well

I assume I can edit packaging/deb/rules to adjust that.

Unsure if that is a good thing to do.
