I just moved my home "server" from Gentoo to Ubuntu 11.04 because it takes
so much
time and effort to maintain and compile all those little bitty (and some
huge) packages.

The server uses bind.  My laptops (Lucid 10.04) do not, but they do have
bind9-host for
DNS queries.  There must be something more to the story of what you were
uninstalling.
I do not use package-provided or any other trickery -- it's all just update
manager and
synaptic for me.
