Please unblock package bind9

1) a rebase bind9 for wheezy to 9.8.4 will make security maintenance a
lot easier going forward.  To properly fix bugs - some security and
basic functionaliy, upstream have changed data structure code, and some
flags.  Makes patching tricky (see below).

2) Bug #690569 DNS wildcards fail to resolve with DNSsec enabled - a
basic DNS protocol bug.  To get DNS resolving going have to turn off
DNSSEC validation - a bit of a thinko.  Found there were too many
changes to 9.8.x ISC upstream since 9.8.1-P3 for me to consider patching
it reliably.  ISC don't give access to their VCS.

Note: also fixes CVE-2012-4244

Note: libdns81, libisc83 are updated to libdns88 and libisc84 in
upstream.

Thank you for looking into this. I really appreciate your time and
dedication to Debian.

Best Regards,

Matthew Grant

I unblocked it now. I hope that I don't regret that. I'm unhappy about how
this went, but I think we should have the fixes 9.8.4 provides in wheezy.

Kind regards
