This ITP doesn't identify any distinguishing characteristics that would
explain why someone would want to use this DNS server instead of one of
the other 9 DNS servers already available in sid.  Please explain this
in your long description, both to help users pick the right package for
their needs, and to help other maintainers contend with archive bloat.

(Or do you believe being written in Python is sufficient reason to
choose this package over the others?)
