[DEP-BLOAT] 'bind' requires 'perl'

[Enrico Scholz]

Hello,

the 'bind' package has a dependency on 'perl'. This huge dependency is
introduced by a single '/usr/sbin/namedGetForwarders' script which is
not needed for most setups. Because none of bind's base-dependencies
requires 'perl' and 'namedGetForwarders' is not part of bind's core
functionality this dependency must vanish.

Possible solutions:

* move this stuff into an own subpackage (e.g. -dbus-tools)
* rewrite namedGetForwarders in a programming language or in shell

[Bug #176100]
