I looked into it a bit, but couldn't pinpoint the exact changes for
CVE-2010-3752 (not with a certainty to not mess up DNSSEC).
I'll give it another go in the next days.
OTOH, 9.7.2 has been in unstable for three weeks w/o any reports of regressions,
so it might not be the worst choice to unblock it. We've had way scarier
Bind changes to cope with DNSSEC even inside stable, see DSA-2054.
[ There also have been soname changes in stable security fixes in the
past, they're all internal to Bind, though. ]
Cheers,
Moritz
