Title:
  nscd no longer needs to be restarted by libc's resolvconf update
  script

Status in resolvconf package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Browsing the eglibc mailing list archives I notice[0] that the eglibc
  resolver has been enhanced[1] such that if /etc/resolv.conf's mtime
  changes then the client re-initializes the resolver state.

  This feature gives us an opportunity to eliminate from
  /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc the code that restarts nscd after an
  alteration in resolv.conf. That would be a beneficial simplification.

  Possibly ditto for some other resolvconf update scripts.

  Can we take advantage of this eglibc enhancement in order to simplify
  resolvconf update scripts?  Do we want to?
