Dan really hates FHS. ;->

I haven't really properly investigated the three (arguably still four)
maintained forks of djbdns. It's more than possible that one or more of
them altered that, and I'd expect (at minimum) Garrit Pape and Prasad J.
Pandit to have produced FHS-leaning packages of their forked codebases,
because I expect they'd want to follow Debian and Red Hat (respectively)
policy.

With work, you can use other superservers such as xinetd/inetd, instead.

I can't remember, does dnscache run by default under daemontools (and
require it), or is that just tinydns et alii?
