Package: src:isc-dhcp
Version: 4.4.1-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the BIND 9 libraries as used in isc-dhcp has been made private by ISC as of BIND
9.14 release.

The ISC-DHCP (a code that has been on life-support for years anyway) is going to
keep using BIND 9.11 libraries (where BIND 9.11 is going to be supported until
end of 2021).

There are two possible options:

* The ISC-DHCP will switch to bundled BIND 9 libraries (libisc, libdns, ...)
* We keep packaging export libraries in a separate project

I think that because the ISC-DHCP is a sole user of the export libraries it
makes sense to use the first option.

Ondrej
