inconsistent and incompatible naming of bind files

[Thomas Schweikle]

Binary package hint: bind9

Bind9 uses per default (compiled from scratch)

/etc/named
/var/cache/named
/var/lib/named
/var/log/named
/var/run/named
/var/tmp/named

With ubuntu this is now:
/etc/bind
/var/cache/bind
/var/lib/bind
/var/log/named
/var/run/named
/var/tmp/bind

Could we please have this as expected by the binary: all in "named" directories? It is quite a pitty to transfer named configurations across systems if one doesn't stay in line, renaming parts inconsistently, just because someone thought this could be a good idea!

Could we please stay at using "named" for all and everything "/usr/sbin/named" is using??!
Same for all starting scripts: please use "/etc/default/named".

This was my first. Had to lower my angriness.

Second: /etc/apparmor.d/use.sbin.named (arrrrrggghhhhhhh --- if it had been consequent: why "usr.sbin.named" here???) does hold wrong permissions. There made for "named", but the directory created installing the package is called "bind":
As found in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named:
  /var/tmp/named/** rw,
  /var/tmp/named/ rw,

What it is configured for:
  /var/tmp/bind/** rw,
  /var/tmp/bind/ rw,

Debian (and therefore ubuntu) policy 10.7.2 (configuration file location):

"Any configuration files created or used by your package must reside in /etc. If there are several, consider creating a subdirectory of /etc named after your package."

That is what led to the choice to place them all in /etc/bind, with consistency across the rest of the directories (in keeping with the filesystem layout policy.) and the package is 'bind', not 'named'.
