The documentation for bind 9.18.33-1~deb12u2-Debian (current daedalus)
still documents the "logging" block grammar. For bind9 I found it here:
https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference.html#namedconf-statement-logging

Despite its out of practice name, /etc/bind/named.conf.log may still be included in the named configuration and thus determine logging behavior.
