Lenny can not install bind9 update in the usual upgrade way, because
this upgrade needs two package removals and two new packages to be
installed. I think this should be mentioned in the security note of this
bind9 upgrade or otherwise inform users so they do not waste time
figuring out what is happening and how to get the upgrade installed.

I've seen such warnings in the past, on the rare occasions when security
updates required a full-upgrade or dist-upgrade.

Me too.
And the required commands to perform the update are usually noted on the
same e-mail received from debian-security-announce mailing list.
