[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#487380: libnss-mdns: Unasked changes in nsswitch.conf breaks the whole system

[Markus]

Package: libnss-mdns
Version: 0.10-3
Severity: minor


Please, please ask the user before messing up the /etc/nsswitch.conf file.

Breaks the whole system when users are in ldap-db and lan is
using local intranet names (.void).

Libnss-mdns and avahi-daemon keeps popping up now and then with other
packages even though they don't really need them (apt-get --purge remove
does not remove anything else than avahi-daemon, libnss-mdns and
avahi-utils).
