Bug Description
Binary package hint: libnss-mdns
Quote from debian report #411978
"Hi,
When /usr is not mounted and libnss-mdns is installed hostname lookups will
fail because lib_mdns* is in /usr/lib instead of /lib.
Apart from the more obvious things like nfs-mounting /usr, something like
postfix can also fail as it just copies the nss modules from /lib into it's
chroot.. Causing a broken setup for resolving, which in turn can cause mail
bounces..

We should either sync up or apply a similar patch

I merged the new package:
nss-mdns (0.9-0.2ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
.
* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
- debian/postinst: Automatically transition the dapper default hosts: line
'files dns mdns' to the recommended value, since dns before mdns is
inefficient, a DNS server DoS, and an information leak.
* Now ships libraries in /lib, not /usr/lib. (LP: #87207)
* Reapply debian/
not do this, and this got dropped in an earlier merge.
* debian/control: Set Ubuntu maintainer.
It's uploaded, but stalled due to herd-5 freeze. I'll close the bug when it goes into the archive.
