On debian 10 I just did run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and got this:

The following packages will be upgraded:
bind9 bind9-host bind9utils dnsutils libbind9-161 libdns-export1104
libdns1104 libirs161 libisc-export1100 libisc1100 libisccc161 libisccfg163
liblwres161 nodejs

Setting up bind9utils (1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1+deb10u2) ...
Setting up bind9-host (1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1+deb10u2) ...
Setting up dnsutils (1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1+deb10u2) ...
Setting up bind9 (1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1+deb10u2) ...
Skipping profile in /etc/apparmor.d/disable: usr.sbin.named
bind9-pkcs11.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it.
bind9-resolvconf.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it.

What is causing it and is this normal?

This is showing that two services were not started because they are disabled. There is nothing to indicate that the installation itself failed.

Unless you know you need the pkcs11 and resolvconf services, I'm 99% sure you can leave them disabled. I'm not entirely sure what their purpose is. What you need running for normal dns resolving is the bind9.service.

On my servers (Debian 9), bind9.service is enabled/running, pkcs11 and resolvconf are not.
