Yeah - I expect that they do... :-(  And, since debconf-updatepo doesn't
like it when I call it debian/bind9.templates, they're even out of date
from reality before the mail went out... sigh.

Here is the actual templates file, please feel free to pick on it until
it conforms to debian-l10n-english's opinion of what it should look
like.

I had clearly forgotten where bind9 was it in the process of getting
debconf questions, and it got caught up in the fever of sending out
postfix for more translations. :-(
