Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bind9

This is not a bug, but a WISHLIST. (I don't know where else to submit
this)

Turn the dlz on for mysql and possibly even postgre.  For 9.5.0 it is currently 
in the debian/rules config file, but it is currently set to no on both options.
I have been trying to figure out how to get bind9 to work with mysql and have 
been pulling my hair out for a week now. The only way to do this is to 
recompile bind9 from source... and I must be too stupid to do so, because I get 
about 95 percent of the way through the build, and it complains about something 
regarding mysql that I don't have on my system.

Could you please release a package with the option turned ON.  If there
is a negative performance issue for the majority of bind users by having
it compiled with it turned on, please release a new package called
bind9-dlz or something like that with the options turned on to work with
the mysql and/or postgre databases that can be installed as packages in
ubuntu.  All other options could be the same as this bind9 package, so
maintenance of a 2nd sub package could be minimal/none.

If this is placed in the wrong section, please forgive me as I am not
completely familiar with how all this works. Sorry for wasting your time
as well as my own, but I am at my wits end.

If this is the right place and you don't want to do it, Why?  I don't
want to be using apt-get install for some packages and have to compile
from code for others. This is to make Ubuntu the best and most useful
platform for all, right?

Regards,
Nut
