Yeah, the intent is that the bind-tools package is a single package that
includes all the tools, while packages such as bind-dig only contain a
single specific tool. In theory bind-tools could be replaced by an empty
package that simply declares dependencies on all the other tool
packages.

I'm not sure when this configuration was originally introduced; it's
been present since before I was involved in maintaining the packages. It
always felt a little odd to me, but never so much so that I felt
compelled to remove it. I'm happy to consider doing so if people feel
strongly about it.
