nslookup(1) was deprecated about a decade ago because it often provides

People should really use host(1) for simple lookups. It provides the same
information and does it in a manner that will not cause misdirection when
things are broken.
Of course, host(1) is not a replacement for nslookup(1).
nslookup is interactive, while host is not. This makes for a big
difference in many usage scenarios.
The decision to remove bind from base was poor, and not well
communicated. Let's hope it will be reverted.
