Then that book can no longer be considered definitive. There is nothing
whatsoever Debian-specific about the behaviour of nslookup you're seeing.
The message you see is part of upstream's (bind9's) implementation of
nslookup.
Quoting the BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual:
:<para>Due to its arcane user interface and frequently inconsistent
:behavior, we do not recommend the use of <command>nslookup</command>. Use
:<command>dig</command> instead.</para>
