Of course it does support that: `drill -T -D` ...

Good for you. Now I package what I want on my spare time and, if there's
a superior and easier-to-maintain alternative, I'm not going to waste
any more of my time on a crumbling piece of software just because
certain people cannot be bothered to migrate.

Over the past weeks we've transitioned all our packages depending on
dnsutils to ldns, and now what's holding us back is that you guys are
"used to" dnsutils!?! Frankly you disappoint me: I thought us devs had a
good track record of putting technical merit before personal attachment
to any piece of software.

By the way, you forgot to adopt dnsutils.
