Hi,

I see djbdns is removed from testing, due to unarchiving of 
critical bug #516394

However, as source package djbdns 1:1.05-11 builds several binary
packages (axfrdns, djbdns-conf, djbdns-utils, rbldns, tinydns,
walldns) and the bug is only in (if not patched) dnscache, 
would other packages reenter testing and later new stable Debian?

I don't particularly care about dnscache, but use other parts of
djbdns (tinydns, axfrdns, djbdns-utils...) often.

I don't know if only some binary packages sharing same source package
can be blocked from entering testing, or how this should reasonably
be handled so other binary packages remain in Debian (lowering
severity to important, as much of the binaries are non-affected? 
patching dnscache with provided patches?)

I am not DD/DM, but have some experience with creating Debian
packages, so am willing to help if needed. Thanks!
