The question is if the ABI of the library is relatively stable. If not,
we will never be able to pull up newer unbound versions to any release
branches. Looking at /usr/lib/libunbound.so.* on a random system here
I see 7.0 to 11.1 versions from mid 2023 untill now. This already
make me think we should move it to /usr/lib/private/....

I don't know why/how lua-unbound uses libunbound (instead of libc).

Maybe a better solution would be to split the unbound pkg or create
a lib-only variant of it, so lua-unbound could depend on lib-unbound
only and not get the dns cache+extra user.
