Humm, someplace, in the last week, I read on a debian site, that raspian
was the officially supported armhf version of debian ??? Or was that my
imagination, out to play without a chaperone?

yup, and if the repos were open... They are not as I've previously
posted. I can report that apt --purge does not, I still see
an /etc/nsswitch.conf, even though ts been purged.

I have solved both problems, so that won't be needed. OTOH, I would be
interested in how you might make anything newer than wheezy actually
work on a staticly defined host file based network without a dhcpd
server on any machine accessible to the local network. Even wheezy took
some mods to make it work starting with setting a chattr +i on
everything network related because that N-M had not yet been taught to
leave a 'static' defined network alone, or you could load up a root copy
of mc, and nuke anything that looked like it belonged to N-M. It didn't
spam the logs with squawks about the immutable flags, so that was a
plus.
