Whilst I can't comment on your other points, I supect that the short answer to this last is because "that's the way that Berkeley (?) package them'.

I can see good reason for having 2 separate packages: Joe User buys his DNS hosting service from ISP.net, as he lives out in the country & can't run a 24/7 Bind server (his servers are at another.isp.net & bigISP.com). He wants to query his DNS config periodically, however, to check it, and so he can make requests to customer.admin@ISP.net; consequently Joe User needs Bind-tools, but not Bind itself.

HTH,

Stroller.

Can anybody explain why bind-tools is at version 9.2.2 but bind itself is
pinned at 9.2.2rc1?  I don't understand this reasoning at all.  I am a
little unclear why there are two separate packages in the first place.
