I'm going to put my foot dangerously close to my mouth here, as I'm away
from my debian system, but... I think that nslookup will work on a
system with only /etc/hostname lookup, right? If so, I think that the
DNS utils should probably get folded in with the runtime package that has
the resolver library and /etc/resolv.conf.
Otherwise, it's a great idea, and the implementation details are of
secondary concern ;)
