Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bind9

When doing a server upgrade with all server tasks installed I get a
.dpkg-dist file in /etc/default/bind9.dpkg-dist. This causes the auto-
upgrade-tester to assume its a leftover conffile. When I diff the bind9
and bind9.dpkg-dist files they are the same.

It turns out that:
 /usr/share/bind9/bind9-default.md5sum 
is different from
 /etc/default/bind9
and this cause the postinst script to write a dpkg-dist file.

But it gets stranger, when I tried to track this, I logged into a clean karmic chroot and ran:
# apt-get install bind9
#  cd /
#  md5sum -c --quiet /var/lib/dpkg/info/bind9.md5sums 
usr/share/bind9/bind9-default.md5sum: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 32 computed checksums did NOT match

?!?
