Hi Chris,

Thanks for filing this bug and helping us make Ubuntu better.

I checked unbound Noble version and we only diverge from debian in that we don't build with hiredis on i386. Therefore, the behaviour has to be the same.

Reading the unbound/changelog, since version 1.5.7-2, we can see:

* debian/unbound.maintscript: Remove conffile /etc/default/unbound

plus

  * debian/resolvconf: No longer use RESOLVCONF_FORWARDERS from
    /etc/default/unbound

Also, from the unbound.NEWS:

>>
unbound (1.5.7-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  The unbound package no longer ships an /etc/default/unbound conffile.
  If modified, it will be renamed to /etc/default/unbound.dpkg-bak after
  upgrading.

  The /etc/default/unbound file, if it exists, will still be read and the
  behavior of the package can be modified, but the defaults have been changed
  to make it unnecessary for most users to need an /etc/default/unbound
  file.

  The following variables are still supported by the /etc/default/unbound
  file, if it exists:

[...]
    RESOLVCONF

      This variable now must be explicitly set to "false" to disable the
      unbound package's resolvconf provider. Otherwise, it defaults to
      enabled if unset.

      In previous versions, this variable had to be explicitly set to "true"
      to enable the resolvconf provider, but the /etc/default/unbound file
      shipped with it explicitly enabled.

So I suspect you can create and write your own /etc/default/unbound file with RESOLVCONF=false for the purpose you're looking for.

Due to this looks like a local configuration issue rather than a bug in the software itself, I'm marking this "Invalid" because it doesn't appear to be a bug, but if I'm wrong, please change it back to "New" and add some more info to point me in the right direction.
