Thank you for reporting this bug, and helping make Ubuntu better. I agree that dynamic DNS zones should be placed in /var/lib/bind, and it has been on my TODO list to add instructions for setting up Dynamic DNS to the Server Guide.
However, I don't agree that all zone files should be placed in /var/lib/bind because by default zone configuration files are placed in /etc/bind. Also, I imagine most admins would look to /etc/ first for configuration files.
