I can understand that listing mdns first in nsswitch.conf, and mounting /usr over NFS, would break as a result of this bug; but this bug severity looks overinflated to me, there are pretty apparent workarounds available (i.e., don't configure nsswitch.conf in such a way that mdns is on the critical path for mounting /usr). -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
