Disclaimer: I did not test GeoIP myself so far.

GeoIP has been implemented in 9.10 directly, see
https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01149/0/Using-the-GeoIP-Features-in-BIND-9.10.html
. As far as I can tell the syntax is a bit different from the one you
were using, so a direct migration is not possible. But you should be
able to adopt your configuration.

As far as I can see the Debian package in stable has GeoIP enabled.

Would it be possible for you to test this and give feedback?
