Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.16.4-1

Current versions of BIND provide a hardcoded list of root servers which provide 
access to the root zone via AXFR so that
they can be used as primaries in a "mirror"-type root zone
(https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/blob/main/bin/named/config.c#L305).

It seems that list should likely be moved to dns-root-data so that it can be 
updated separately from a full bind
installation (and possibly used by other resolvers).

I presume such a file should be usable as an include statement in bind.conf, 
though this may preclude use by other
resolvers.

Feel free to move this to dns-root-data or tell me off to go file upstream or 
so if this isn't the right place to file.
