[Pkg-dns-devel] Bug#887326: dnsutils: should include delv

[brian m. carlson]

Package: dnsutils
Version: 1:9.11.2+dfsg-5
Severity: wishlist

The dig(1) manpage indicates that the DNSSEC functionality of dig is
deprecated and recommends delv instead.  However, delv is not included
in the dnsutils package, instead living in the bind9 package.  Since
most users of dnsutils will not have bind9 installed, this makes it hard
to transition use away from dig to delv as recommended.

Could you please ship delv in the dnsutils package instead?
