Indeed, I confirm. Note that this will change with glibc 2.34 which has
nss_files and nss_dns built-in.

This is correct, there is no breakage between minor version, only
between major version. Now, given that bookworm will very likely have
glibc >= 2.34 (at least that the goal if we are able to solve all issues
with each new upstream version), so I am not sure if it is worth
implementing such a change.
