bug#62698: bind:utils

[Brian Cully]

With the config below, I have ‘host’, ‘dig’, and ‘nslookup’ in my
path. Note that I'm using the ‘(compose list
specification->package+output)’ form, though. If you're not using that,
you may be accidentally loading the ‘bind’ package with the default
‘out’ output, instead of the ‘utils’ one. If that's the case, then
you're not going to have the utils in your PATH because they haven't
been installed.
