No, not really. The bind9-libs package contains shared libraries for bind9, bind9-dnsutils, bind9-host and bind9-utils package. We could drop bind9-dev, but that was required by the bind9-dyndb-ldap plugin - that's the thing that might be useful to solve, but then again, RedHat chose GPL for the project, so there's little we can do in both upstream and downstream - we certainly don't want to re-licence whole BIND 9 to GPL because of the bundled plugin. I would rather keep them separate even if it's painful. Ondrej -- Ondřej Surý (He/Him) ond...@sury.org
