I don't know from which sources you compiled on what OS, but for me
the default setting for AMANDA-2.4.4p2 (and earlier versions, too) is
/usr/local/etc/amanda (it's Linux here).

It's not WRONG to put configs in /etc, but it ain't the place they
should go when you read the FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard).

The /etc directory contains configuration unique to the system and is
required for boot time.

You see?

Just configure your AMANDA-sources with

--with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda/

put your configs in there and feel the satisfaction of meeting the
standard ;)
