Bug #139115, first reported in 2002, was closed as part of a clearout
in 2017, but it's still true: bind9-doc doesn't comply with Policy
ยง9.10, which recommends registering documentation with doc-base.
This is easily confirmed by noting that the package bind9-doc provides
the "BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual" (B9ARM.html), but no
control file /usr/share/doc-base/bind9-doc.
A contributed doc-base file has been waiting in the BTS since 2005,
but here's an updated version - for a start, the ISC has changed from
being the Internet *Software* Consortium to the Internet *Systems*
Consortium since this bug was first filed!
