Looks like this bug has been fixed? Upgraded from 9.2.1-2.woody.2 to 9.2.4-1 with no problems with permissions on /var/cache/bind.
The "named" binary in bind9 9.2.1-2.woody.2 runs as the user root whereas "named" runs as the user bind in 9.2.4-1, but the posinst script takes care of changing the permissions of the /var/cache/bind directory. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
