My appologies for the ambiguity in my paragraph above.

If the admin chose to use dbconfig-common when installing pdns, then of
course it is reasonable to auto-update the schema by way of dbconfig-common
when pdns is upgraded.

I intended that paragraph specifically for the case where the admin did
not choose to use dbconfig-common, including those cases where pdns was
instaled before the deb first aquired dbconfig-common support.

My primary NS is nearly a decade old now, mostly if not entirely on sid.
And still x86, even though its last several hosts ran amd64 dom0 kernels.

AFAICR dbconfig was not an option when I installed pdns on it.
