If they aren't the same, at some point in the future you or your
colleagues are going to get very confused about which one is the right
one.

There isn't much standardization of BIND init scripts. Some of them try to
keep in-chroot and out-of-chroot configuration in sync, some don't, maybe
depending on how the script is configured. So I can't give you a direct
answer; you should read your init script carefully.
