This is not correct IMHO, the same answer would also be valid for ANY other
daemon: ftp servers can listen on other ports/ip, web servers can listen 
on different ports/ip and so on. The current practice is having a virtual
package with appropriate conflicts/provides/replaces; or providing
a way to configure listening port at installation time; or finally
having the daemon disabled at installation time, so requiring
a postinst handy configuration - what ever is more appropriate.

At least in three cases (ftpd, httpd, radius, telnetd) currently is
used a virtual package. So probably it is the most appropriate
choice in respect with current policy.

The point is that with the *default* configuration unbound does not 
complete the installation when another name server is installed.
And this could be considered a serious bug.
