If you run the bind9 package, you incur the ire of ISC and the members of the BIND users forum (who chastise you for "running such an old version of BIND" and just tell you to upgrade BIND) if you post issues there.  If you use the ISC packages in their PPA repository, you can't get any (or only limited) assistance from the Ubuntu developers.  As popular as BIND is, it seems like it would be one of the packages that you would want to update regularly from the upstream minor version releases.  But perhaps BIND isn't run on Ubuntu as much as I think it might be.

It's often possible to look at it from the other end. If they've fixed
the problem in a point release, then we can look at their upstream
commits, find the relevant one, and cherry-pick it.
