Hi,
I was looking at the bind9 -4 upload for a potential unblock and was
about to query some of the changes in this patch when I noticed that
Julien already did so a while ago.

The changes included in the package remove the file on purge.
Looking more closely, it appears that the wheezy packages don't ship the
file in any case, which means that the original bug doesn't apply there
afaics.
This change:
# no sumfile means you get the default
- [ -f /usr/share/bind9/bind9-default.md5sum ] ||
- echo "2cfcfb7bf1b99c7930fd475907e38be7 /etc/default/bind9" >
/usr/share/bind9/bind9-default.md5sum
+ [ -f /var/lib/bind/bind9-default.md5sum ] ||
+ echo "2cfcfb7bf1b99c7930fd475907e38be7 /etc/default/bind9" >
/var/lib/bind/bind9-default.md5sum
also means that the md5sum will always be recreated on the first upgrade
from any version of the package which uses the file from /usr,
potentially causing the check to produce the wrong result.
Regards,
Adam
