I filed 17560 myself, because the use of /etc/amanda for the tapelist files seemed inconsistent with standards at the time... but there's no practical problem posed by the inconsistency, so I've never gotten around to doing anything about it. It's hard for me to imagine a meaningful conflict with /var/log/amanda. The use of /tmp/amanda may be worth discussion, but as of 2.5.2, fairly fine grained control of debugging is possible in the config file, including changing the directory used. See the man page for amanda.conf and the example /usr/share/doc/amanda-common/examples/config.site.gz for details.
