I didn't have any '(none)' domain here, I had to add it to /etc/hosts
after view tcpdump traces from openoffice with wireshark and then view
its request with "localhost.(none)" to my dns server.
I had not search and not domain terms in /etc/resolv.conf (only
nameserver) and my internet connection is throw an squid proxy in a
remote ip address.

Indeed, debian doesn't create it, but openoffice in squeeze make these
petitions, so better having this line in /etc/hosts than waiting 10-15
seconds until your document is popup and then you can work.

All app works fine with my network setup, I had to add this entry
(localhost.(none)) to make openoffice work fine
As reference I have two links:

I have not special /etc/nsswitch, and a simple /etc/network/interface
with 2 ips and 2 routes (I don't have now my work computer here to
show these files)
