If you read the git-commit regarding the change, the packages were combined because there is no longer any significant install size saving splitting the package. The libraries used by the bind-tools apps (1.7M) is not 8X larger than the dns daemon (0.2M) so it no longer made sense to split the package from a size-saving standpoint: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/bind&id=c688d695dc4e82aad9a7ec546bc47e4b5fe5c447 -- David C.
