Comment (by fo):
That might be interesting for some.
But I'm writing this for another reason.
First, apologies to intrude. Took the day to reply many things I had
not, when was worried with startin X, and one I was worried for days was
that Net::DNS versus Bind stuff.
I am installing this version in my 7.7, also for security reasons. Not
analyzing for update.
Tis was also motivated by a reply I did to Ken that the tests need
Net::DNS. I wanted to be sure about it.
I think this is somewhat important, because Net-DNS is only used in the
book for bind tests.
If it is not a useful test for ND, it means we can archive Net-DNS.
Have found many references in the source code:

Then, searched a little more in the internet (hard to find useful hits),
and finally got one relevant hit with "BIND make check fails net::dns":

We recently added a bin/tests/system/reclimit/prereq.sh script to check
for it.
CHANGES entry:
4113. [test] Check for Net::DNS is some system test
prerequisites. [RT #39369]

The conclusion seems to be:
{{{
1. The tests are a useful test for Net::DNS.
2. We need to include external Net::DNS::Nameserver, with comment for
not having test failures.
3. If we wished, Net::DNS could be removed and b come external, with
the same comment.
4. Net::DNS::Nameserver could be added.
}}}
I won't interfere in your decisions. Apologies again for the intrusion.
For me what is important is the first conclusion. I was afraid I had
given a wrong reply to Ken.
