By the way, for all who need a workaround, here's a simple script that
uses idn tool (apt install idn) to translate any non-ascii parameters to
punycode and pass them to supplied executable.

Example:
$ type host
host is aliased to `idnwrapper.sh host'
$ host почта.рф
xn--80a1acny.xn--p1ai has address 91.215.36.43
xn--80a1acny.xn--p1ai mail is handled by 20 78.108.81.1.

Title:
  no IDN in nslookup and host

Status in BIND:
  New
Status in bind9 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in iputils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in bind9 package in Debian:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bind9

  Neither nslookup or host supports IDN. If you try , for example, to
  get the IP for "registrera-domän.se" it fails every time. As the use
  of IDN is increasing I think it would be a good thing if these tools
  supported this.
