Main Inclusion Report for `libnss-mdns`

1. Availability: Available in universe/unstable, Arch: all supported archs

2. Rationale: nss-mdns is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing host name resolution via Multicast DNS (aka Zeroconf, aka Apple Rendezvous, aka Apple Bonjour), effectively allowing name resolution by common Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local. Nss-mdns uses Avahi-daemon to resolve hostnames.

3. Security:

   • No CVEs
   • Only resolves .local host names
   • Source code review: looks pretty good and cautious

4. Quality assurance:

   • no bugs in Debian BTS http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=nss-mdns

   • no upstream BTS.

5. Standards compliance:

   • The package meets the FHS.

6. Dependencies:

   • no new dependencies which are currently not in main
