Red Hat 9 ships no configuration for bind 9 so that you can set it up either
chrooted or not as you see fit.  See /etc/sysconfig/named for specifying a
root directory for bind.

So, as you can put it wherever you like, it means that having an
/etc/named.conf probably won't suit the needs of the chrooter, hence the
extra package with the necessary configuration files.
