No, it's an NSS module not a shared library - the soname shouldn't be
part of the package name.

But as far as an FFe is concerned, I don't agree that libnss-myhostname
is a technically sound approach, *period*; it works at cross-purposes to
the existing Debian handling of the hostname being resolved to 127.0.1.1
via /etc/hosts.  There should be a plan for aligning these, across *all*
systems, not just desktop systems.

For my money, I believe the right answer is to ensure tools which update
the system hostname also update /etc/hosts (via some common tool), and
*not* add to the NSS overhead with this module.
