bind and bind-tools is split ;) Why is it so bad to split packages? (I'm
just curious) Seems a bit odd that we can't have a library only, client
only, etc package like the other distros. Of course, I understand that
we could use useflags for that, but is that really the best solution for
this particular issue?
Oh well, I'm just a sysadmin, not a coder so I'll got back to my cave. ;)
