Thanks for making this bug report and making Ubuntu better Marco!

Maybe the full description from the Debian archive makes more sense? I'm not familiar with this terminology so it's hard for me to make an accurate assessment here.

from Debian - https://packages.debian.org/sid/dns-root-data
This package contains various root zone related data as published by IANA to be used by various DNS software as a common source of DNS root zone data, namely:

 * Root Hints (root.hints)
 * Root Trust Anchors (root.key, root.ds)

Adding this to server-triage-discuss to get some more thoughts on this.
