The startup script for the unbound ubuntu package puts unbound into a
chroot by default (/var/lib/unbound). Upon restart, it copies
everything from /etc/unbound into /var/lib/unbound/etc/unbound, hence
the multiple config files.

It is a pretty strange way to do things, and also breaks
unbound-control into the bargain! I had a bit of a "WTF" moment when I
discovered this behaviour.
