Hi Lamont.
I've actually been working with ISC's people on getting bind10 packaged
for Debian, so it's not a "start from scratch" thing. I did review what
was being done with bind9 and used most of the ideas with bind10.
BIND10 is quite different to BIND9 and I had (and have) direct contact
with ISC's development team to make sure BIND10 is straightforward to
package without having to resort to patching. It still isn't as easy as
we would like, but it's getting there.
I've used git-buildpackage for my work, mostly on a local repository. I
will have a mostly-working 1.1.0 package over the weekend (albeit not
lintian clean since the hardening stuff is not finished) so we could
proceed from that.
I'd like to help with BIND packaging in general.
Regards,

If you can't aptitude it, it isn't useful or doesn't exist.
