Package nslint Severity 535913 wishlist Thanks It's very unlikely I'm going to fix that (only speaking for myself here, I'm quite willing to include a patch if someone provides one). This would be a change to upstream functionality, more precisely adding support for something upstream (unfortunately) doesn't support yet. While I perfectly understand why you want this feature, this is a change that is beyond the scope of Debian package maintenance, and it is certainly not an important bug (please see the documentation reportbug shows when asking for the severity).
BTW: While it is perfectly normal for a host to have both IPv4 and IPv6 address(es), the nslint warning about multiple A records on a hostname when it has both A and AAAA records is valid. Though it should probably be possible to disable that particular warning. The same warning also occures for DNS round-robin entries that are valid, yet leave it undetermined which of the IPs the client will access when provided with the hostname. All in all: I downgrade the bug to wishlist and send a mail upstream (though upstream is pretty mostly inactive the last years as far as I can tell) to ask for inclusion of your requested feature.
