Package: manpages
Version: 3.23-1
Severity: wishlist

The hosts(5) man page should mention the use of 127.0.1.1 for
the FQDN, perhaps with some information why 127.0.1.1 is used
instead of 127.0.0.1[*].

Thus something like the following line should be added to
the EXAMPLE section:

127.0.1.1       this-host.mydomain.org this-host
