This bug represents a significant Linux policy violation. Generated
files should never be created in the /etc directory. As a workaround I
linked all of my zone files into /var/cache/bind, and then used those
in my named.conf.local file, but it isn't an elegant solution.

Proposed solution:
concatenate the directory from the options (named.conf.options) to
each zone file using "basename $file" (from named.conf.local).

This way the files will always be in the directory which is by default
"/var/cache/bind", an acceptable location for dynamically generated
files and the basename will ensure that the files are named correctly.

Any chance of such a change, or is this more of a bind bug than a Debian bug?
