It may well be - but if the design is wrong it is still a bug.
The fact that people are using a package improperly does not make its design wrong. The package information is quite clear:
The caching-nameserver package includes the configuration files which will make BIND, the DNS name server, act as a simple caching nameserver. Many users on dialup connections use this package along with BIND for such a purpose.
If you would like to set up a caching name server, you'll need to install the caching-nameserver package; you'll also need to install bind.
Note the "simple caching nameserver" part. Those using it for something different are simply wrong.
