This is because for the released packages, the flex/bison generated
files are included (and are used if flex and bison are missing).  So
it is not an error for released packages.

NSD forks into the background before it chroots or chdirs, and this
causes the error to be printed later.  nsd-checkconf tests errors in
configuration before the daemon is started.
