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 [*] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/12/msg00770.html -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash manpages depends on no packages. manpages recommends no packages.
