Hi,

I noticed that in Ubuntu a bind9 upgrade causes a 
/etc/default/bind9.dpkg-dist file to be created. Looking at this
I found that the md5sum of the default file is outdated, attached
is a patch that fixes this. 

I also noticed that there is code that saves the md5sum of the
/etc/default/bind9 in /usr/share/bind9/bind9-default.md5sum after
the file got created. I don't quite understand how this will work,
this file is also part of the normal package so it will be overwriten
on each upgrade reseting the information when postinst runs next.

I checked the md5sum on sid as well, same as in ubuntu maverick
and natty so the patch should be safe.

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * debian/bind9-default.md5sum:
    - updated to reflect the default md5sum in maverick and natty, this
      avoids a bogus /etc/default/bind9.dpkg-dist file
      (LP: #556332)

Thanks for considering the patch.

Cheers,
 Michael
