Not sure if it is relevant or not, but during a dist-upgrade to ceres
today, got the following notification:

unbound (1.11.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

The default Debian config file shipped in the unbound package has
changed from using the "include:" directive to using the
"include-toplevel:" directive in order to include the config file
fragments in /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/*.conf into the unbound
configuration.

The "include-toplevel:" directive has been newly introduced in unbound
1.11.0 and it requires that any included config file fragment begin
its own clause (e.g., "server:").

The existing "include:" directive that was used in previous Debian
releases of the unbound package only performed textual inclusion, and
it was possible to construct a set of config file fragments that
depended on the presence or ordering of specific config file
fragments in order to parse correctly. For instance, a config file
fragment could have specified an option that can only appear in the
"server:" clause, and rely on a previously included config file
fragment to begin that clause. This behavior is no longer allowed by
the use of the "include-toplevel:" directive because it is not robust
against config file fragments being added, removed, or reordered.

If you are upgrading the unbound package and you have installed any
config file fragments into /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/ you should
check that each config file fragment begins its own clause (e.g.,
"server:") and update each config file fragment as necessary to be
compatible with the behavior of the "include-toplevel:" directive.

If needed, the previous behavior can be restored by changing the
following line in /etc/unbound/unbound.conf:

      include-toplevel: "/etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/*.conf"


to its previous setting:

      include: "/etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/*.conf"
