Are you sure this is the version where you see the bug, and not dpkg
1.13.25 or earlier?

While I do not have the bind9 package installed, I cannot reproduce
this behavior with other packages, and indeed the missing epoch has been
fixed in dpkg 1.14.0, according to the Debian changelog:
,----
| dpkg (1.14.0) unstable; urgency=low
|
| [ Guillem Jover ]
| [...]
| * Show the epoch (if present) when displaying package versions.
| Closes: #107449, #179913, #345594, #393924, #405668
| Based on a patch by Jeffrey W. Baker.

Can you please retry, perhaps after upgrading dpkg to 1.14.22 or 1.14.23?
Regards,
Sven
