Bug#4939: nslookup.sh doesn't mimic command set of nslookup (unsupplied)



Package: dnsutils
Version: 951231-2
 
The shell script nslookup.sh provided doesn't exactly mimic the usual behavior
of nslookup.  It fails to properly handle "nslookup full.dns.name" by returning 
the IP address of the machine named (among other things).  This can break
scripts that rely on this behavior (including the make-ssh-known-hosts script
in the ssh package).  Is there a reason a full version of nslookup isn't 
included (or packaged anywhere for that matter)?
