I think the right thing here is to move the default configuration location out of /etc/bind; probably we should make /etc/chiark- scripts/ and stick it in there. That will involved postinst checking for an extant configuration file and putting a symlink in place if it finds one; if not, then it can leave an empty file in the new location.

While we're at it, it's not clear that /etc/bind is the best default directory, either.

[an alternative would be to make it just emit a warning on not finding the config file, but given we're going to have to do some work migrating to a new configuration file location anyway, I don't believe that to be a win]

Clearly the man-page will need modifying too. Any objections?
