Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I initially encountered this bug on Ubuntu precise and filed the following
bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/920202

As I saw the package was directly synced from Debian unstable with no
additional patches, I reproduced it successfully on an up-to-date.
Debian sid installation.

It seems the upgrades from previous versions of bind9 work, the problem
just occurs when installing bind9 for the first time.

The problem seems to be in this piece of code of the postinst script:

 case $UPDATE_OPTS in
     y)
         echo Updating named.conf.options to include DNSSEC enablement
         cp /usr/share/bind9/named.conf.options /etc/bind/named.conf.options

$UPDATE_OPTS is equal to 'n' on a new installation so the file is not copied,
but it is referenced in /etc/bind/named.conf:

include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";

And that's the reason why it fails to start.
