This bug was fixed in the package isc-dhcp - 4.2.4-1ubuntu1

---------------
isc-dhcp (4.2.4-1ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian. Remaining changes:
    (LP: #768171, LP: #841182, LP: #881558, LP: #872929, LP: #616809)
    - Use upstart jobs for isc-dhcp-server and isc-dhcp-relay.
    - Add IPv6 support to udeb dhclient-script (forwarded as Debian #635897).
    - Add an apport hook to isc-dhcp-client and isc-dhcp-server.
    - Add an apparmor profile to isc-dhcp-client and isc-dhcp-server.
    - Update default dhclient.conf to ask for IPv6 configuration.
    - Patches:
      + dhclient-fix-backoff
      + dhclient-more-debug
      + dhclient-onetry-call-clientscript
      + dhclient-safer-timeout
      + dhcpd.conf-subnet-examples
      + multi-ip-addr-per-if
      + onetry_retry_after_initial_success
      + revert-next-server
  * Set fqdn.fqdn to the result of gethostname(); (LP: #991360)
  * Replace old droppriv and deroot patches by use of --enable-paranoia
    and matching -user and -group parameters to dhcpd. (LP: #727837)
  * Allow read access to /etc/dhcp/ddns-keys/* for ddns. (LP: #341817)
    It's expected that people generate one key per zone and have it stored
    in both /etc/bind9 and /etc/dhcp/ddns-keys/ for security reason.
  * Fix apport hook to work with python3.

  Problem:
  dhcpd wont start - "/etc/bind/rndc.key: Permission denied"
  Workaround found but is a potential security issue ("/etc/bind/rndc.conf" world readable)

  Brief:
  Trying to get dhcp3-server and bind9 to work together nicely.
  The "/etc/bind/rndc.key" file is owned by bind:bind w. 640 perms by default and dhcpd3 process runs under user "dhcpd". Adding user "dhcpd" to group "bind" does not seem to work. Permissions of "/etc/bind/rndc.key" need to be changed to 644 for dhcp3-server to start (I could find no other solution - after a few hours of google and 30 minutes of play, at least ;-)

  Steps:
  - Install & configure bind9 (configuration tested and working)
  - Install & configure dhcp3-server
  - sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start

  Expected result:
  dhcpd starts

  Actual result:
  #/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start
  dhcpd self-test failed. Please fix the config file.
  The error was:
  Can't open /etc/bind/rndc.key: Permission denied
  #ls -l `which dhcpd3`
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 516164 2008-04-02 15:38 /usr/sbin/dhcpd3
  #ls -l /etc/bind/rndc.key
  -rw-r----- 1 bind bind 77 2009-03-12 14:30 /etc/bind/rndc.key
  #id -a dhcpd
  uid=111(dhcpd) gid=122(dhcpd) groups=122(dhcpd),121(bind)

  Workaround:
  - Change permissions of /etc/bind/rndc.key to world readable (from 640 -> 644)
    note: adding 'dhcpd' user to 'bind' group does not work for some reason
  - Start dhcpd:
  #chmod 644 /etc/bind/rndc.key
  #/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start
   * Starting DHCP server dhcpd3                                                                                         [ OK ]
