A very vaguely named package that contains *some* sort of configuration
for BIND.

A configuration package for BIND, with a more specific name.

There was a debate about this, somewhere.  Probably on bugzilla.  About
the wisdom of the naming, and about changing things from what people are
used to.  I'm sure I read a reference to it on this mailing list, so it
ought to be findable.  I recall it went along the lines of renaming the
package, then shortly afterwards reverting the name it used to have,
then either a debate about it or renaming it again.  All in all, it
sounded rather daft.
