The Lenny package's /etc/init.d/bind9 script calls 'lsb_release -is' to determine the distribution and if the 'lsb-release' package is installed then the lsb_release script calls 'apt-cache policy'. The result of which was not used. I believe you could comment out that line without any ill effects although I didn't test it. Or alternatively you could remove the 'lsb-release' package. The current Sid version of bind9's /etc/init.d/bind9 script does not call 'lsb_release' and therefore this issue seems to have been addressed in the latest Squeeze. Bob P.S.
