Bug Description

Release: Xenial/16.04

While trying to quiet down IPv6 related messaged from named (not quite there, yet), I added the relevant options to the defaults file (/etc/default/bind9 -> OPTIONS="-u bind"). Unfortunately this file is totally ignored by the systemd service unit. After changing it like below, I got the desired behaviour:

/lib/systemd/system/bind9.service:
...
 [Service]
+EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/bind9
-ExecStart=/usr/sbin/named -f -u bind
+ExecStart=/usr/sbin/named -f $OPTIONS
 ExecReload=/usr/sbin/rndc reload
 ExecStop=/usr/sbin/rndc stop

@Lamont, not sure there are already planned changes to Yakkety which could pick this little change up.
