Yes, but that doesn't change the desirable contents of the changelog. It
should list the changes made, nothing more or less. If you need to give
further instructions to users it should be mailed separately to the BTS
or put in the package's documentation. Eg:
changelog:
* New upstream.
- Incorporates delegation-only patch. (Closes: Bug#234521)
README.Debian and/or mail to 234521@bugs.debian.org:
* Avoiding the verisign Site Redirector
Verisign have added a redirector for all unregistered .com and
.net domains to go to their own server, which provides a search
service on port 80 (http), and a bounce-all-mail MTA on port 25
(smtp). This can directly result in confusion for web users, and
lost mail in some cases; and indirectly result in failing spam
countermeasures and timeouts on other applications.
You can avoid receiving any of Verisign's responses by using Bind's
delegation-only feature; which translates all non-NS responses to
queries at a particular level to NXDOMAIN responses. If set on .com,
then the only way to resolve foobar.com is to receive a response from
the root name servers pointing at foobar.com's nameservers, and to
receive an A record for foobar.com from those nameservers.
You can add:
zone "com" { type delegation-only; };
zone "net" { type delegation-only; };
to your named.conf to activate this behaviour. Note that this will
only be effective if you don't use any forwarders.
Cheers,
aj
