+Amanda is a backup system designed to archive many computers on a network to a
+single large-capacity tape drive.
+
+This package does not contain anything by itself -- it is a
+"meta-package" that depends on the amanda-client, amanda-server,
+and amanda-plot packages. Its purpose is to require dependencies
+so users can install this package only and have the complete
+Amanda software pulled in by the port/package dependency mechanism.
