I tried to switch from my homemade unbound service to the recently
added to guix; got an error saying that dns service is provided twice,
because knot was already on the server, and they both provision dns.

But it is technically fine to run them both on different interfaces,
where unbound works as a resolver and knot as an authoritative server.

I can't find any services that depend on dns provision, so I suggest to just remove it.

Or at least make it configurable, but I think it is generally a bad idea to pollute provisions with such "tags".

If some service may depend on different name servers, it should make its requirements configurable.

With understandable exceptions for things like networking.
