The description in this bug report is complete; it is a request to
enable the WINS NSS module by default.
However, I'm going to have to mark this bug 'wontfix', because the
nss_wins module isn't mature enough to enable it by default, and using
it can cause recursion problems for apps in a variety of cases. Some
details can be found in Debian bug #459972.
I believe anyone in this situation is better off deploying DNS than
bolting WINS onto their Ubuntu systems. Microsoft appears to agree,
given that their current domain technology (Active Directory) uses DNS.
