Regarding the location of primary zone files, that has previously been 
in /var/cache/bind, and secondary zone files definitely go there.

Locating primary zone files in /etc/bind/primary does not seem to be usual.

There is an alternative location for primary zone files in /var/lib/bind 
but it does not seem common either.
