Eeewwww. Diversions are so, well, messy. I think the obvious right way to handle this is to add debconf support to the bind9 package asking whether to run in a chroot or not, and if the answer is yes, just do it. As has been pointed out by Marco and others, bind9 is substantially easier to chroot than previous versions, so this shouldn't be a big deal. Having said that, since I don't personally run bind9 in a chroot, I continue to be willing to accept a clueful patch to the current bind9 source in non-US to implement this... but am in no big rush to implement it myself.
