not exactly.  some number of us, and i do not know what proportion,
merely want to run a version of bind different than that installed
by the default make world.  currently, when we install a new system,
we have to manually take out the default dig, host, ...

in general, i suspect that second-guessing users' perception of
package boundaries, as opposed to sticking with the formal chunks,
will increase entropy.
