The fact is that nobody complained about that... and my bug was
repported more than one year and a half ago. Plus It was disscussed on
debian-devel. Please do not argue with me!
I do not pretend that I know anything in name resolution, however I
proposed something that worked on my system. It was widely discussed. I
joined this current thread to show people who do not read -devel every day
that we have already talk about it. Nothing more, nothing less.
Please have a look at:
