May I ask WHY you are doing this, and if the decision has been discussed? There are serious implications regarding the libraries and include files with BIND 8, including problems with the resolver. These problems go way beyond the cosmetic problems related to the conf file. Here is a quote from the INSTALL file: Shared Libraries Absolutely no support exists for editing the system's shared libraries to update the resolver. If you want to do that you probably want to look at BIND Version 4 (see http://www.isc.org/isc/) or wait a while or help out a lot. This means you probably do not want to install the library or include files into /usr/lib or /usr/include, and this kit helpfully puts everything into /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include for that reason among others. Are these issues being considered, and if so what are the solutions proposed?
