## Notes

---

### [alexmurray](https://launchpad.net/~alexmurray)

As of isc-dhcp-4.4.3-1, isc-dhcp vendors bind9 libs

---

### [mdeslaur](https://launchpad.net/~mdeslaur)

in focal and jammy, isc-dhcp uses the bind9-libs package
This is unlikely to affect isc-dhcp's use of bind9-libs and the
vendored bind9 libs, marking as negligible
This only affected 9.16.13 and higher.
