Spurious is exactly the right word to use, and the answer is not to have
a dns-server virtual package to conflict with, but instead remove the
conflicts. If the only reason they conflict is because they have the
potential to listen on the same port, then they should NOT conflict. As
someone else pointed out, most can be configured to listen on different
ports, or different addresses, or both.
OTOH, if they conflict for other reasons (such as using the same binary
name or configuration files - I suppose bind and bind9 might fall
into this category), then they need to explicitly conflict with those
packages that actually cause a problem.

Ah, yes, the old Moriarty (aka Jeff Meyer) comics quote list. I remember
it well.
