Hi, thanks for this patch! I think it can go in the DNS module.
I wonder, how does it relate to the BIND that replaces the bundled BIND
in isc-dhcp, which I've noticed often requires security updates?
I don't think it relates at all, except that it is produced by the same group.
However, I noticed in that module, there is bind-utils, which provides about
half of what my patch does, and IMO is unecessarily complicated. I suppose this
was done because somebody wanted to provide the DNS query tools without the
DNS server.
I think this would be better achieved by having separate outputs bind:utils and
bind:daemon

Does "force-test" mean that the test suite will return success even if
there are some failures? If so, this should explicitly stated in a
comment.
Apparently, some tests cannot be run unless one makes some local hacks
as root. force-test skips those tests which require that.
