Debian/Ubuntu: Why was the service renamed from bind9 to named?

your changelog snippet is handeled as signature seperator so a forward

when someone starts complaining "Since years, Debian and Ubuntu User,
and plenty of scripts and automation software (Puppet ...), know that
the service is called" i assume that he at least would have tried if
something is broken *before* complain and so it's a logicla assumption
the alias is missing

Debian/Ubuntu packages and what should be done there before the next
major release of the distribution don't belong here anyways
