Yes, I've been performing "maximal" testing with this configuration over
the past few weeks - no problems have been discovered.

The $ROOTDIR/etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf is ONLY used if no
$ROOTDIR/etc/named.conf file exists.

Your point is ?

That would defeat the point, which is to allow a caching-only nameserver
configuration to be the default to be used only if no custom configuration exists.

named.conf is a '%ghost' file in both these packages, to prevent removal of previous
versions of these packages from removing named.conf - there are no conflicts created
by two packages owning %ghost files.

Right - bind-config Obsoletes: caching-nameserver, which is required by NetworkManager.

Wrong: simply create a $ROOTDIR/etc/named.conf with your custom configuration, and it
will be used instead of $ROOTDIR/etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf.

NetworkManager works by configuring the local caching-nameserver named with D-BUS;
hence, it must depend on the 'caching-nameserver' functionality provided by the bind-config 
package.

That is in effect what has occurred: named.caching-nameserver.conf is ONLY used if no
named.conf exists. This has the bonus of not requiring ANY user intervention to obtain
a caching-nameserver.

I fail to see any "problems" with the new bind packages from the above description -
if you find any, please raise a bind bugzilla about them.
