libnss-mymachines is marked as automatically installed on my (Debian
Sid) system:

$ aptitude why libnss-mymachines
i   libvirt-daemon-system         Depends    libvirt-daemon-system-systemd (= 9.6.0-1) | libvirt-daemon-system-sysv (= 9.6.0-1)
i A libvirt-daemon-system-systemd Depends    systemd-container                                                                 
i A systemd-container             Recommends libnss-mymachines 

So if one wants to run libvirt as a system service on a systemd system,
and "Recommends" are installed by default (which I would assume is a
not uncommon scenario), then one will end up with libnss-mymachines
installed.
