Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.11.4+dfsg-4~bpo9+1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The file `/etc/bind/db.root` appears to be present in the stretch package as
well as in the buster package. Though, it's not part of the stretch-backports
package.
I did modify the `named.conf.default-zones` file in order to use
`/usr/share/dns/root.hints` (provided by the `dns-root-data` package) but would
like to know if `db.root` will be kept or not in the buster package in order to
update external tools (i.e. a SaltStack formula) accordingly.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers,

It is not present in the buster package anymore.
berni@BOTOX:~$ dpkg-deb -c bind9_9.11.4+dfsg-4_amd64.deb | grep db.root

Yes, it's present on
https://packages.debian.org/buster/amd64/bind9/filelist. These URLs are
known to be out-of-date, see #884838.
We're intentionally not deleting /etc/bind/db.root on upgrades to avoid
breaking existing configurations (where the admin did not see/agree to
the changed configuration), but will not install it on new systems.

db.root is already dropped. If you want to deploy a bind configuration
from a template that works on Stretch and beyond I suggest using
/usr/share/dns/root.hints and install dns-root-data additionally
(because on Stretch it is not going to be pulled in by default).
