I totally agree. As of this writing a total of 14 packages actually use
/etc/insserv.conf.d. What a shame. Interestingly unbound is one of them,
so you can remove unbound from $named, right? So what about the others?
 * bind9: not using insserv.conf.d, no bug report
 * dnsmasq: not using insserv.conf.d, no bug report
 * lwresd: not using insserv.conf.d, no bug report

Do you want me to file wishlist bugs for those packages?

Thanks for pointing out.

Sure. I reassigned the bug report. I also verified that unstable
(1.2.8-par-2) is still affected.

For the pdnsd maintainer: pdnsd should ship a file
/etc/insserv.conf.d/pdnsd containing the line "$named pdnsd". (Thanks
to Petter Reinholdtsen for explaining this to me.)
