Source: libstrophe Version: 0.14.0-5I am suggesting to build libstrophe with --enable-cares instead of with the fallback DNS code that it has by default. There is no new packaging work needed for this since c-ares is in Debian already. The advantage is faster and more secure DNS lookups, including DNS caching and also the possibility to do DNS lookups in a an nonblocking way which won't block the libstrophe event loop.
I will follow this with a patch to the package for acheiving this.
