For Debian Edu, we provide pdns and slapd on the same machine, and services started during boot expect DNS to have the entires provided in the LDAP database to work. So in this scenario, pdns need to start after slapd and kerberos and others need to start after pdns for the services to work after boot. It would not help if pdns would connect to LDAP later in the boot, if the services looking for DNS names failed during boot. I suspect it is similar when using the mysql backend. But it all boils down to what init.d script ordering the maintainers of pdns and mysql want. Both ordering make sense for some scenarios.
