I solved my problem by reinstalling libnss-mdns_0.8-6.1_amd64.deb !!
How come I was able to uninstall it without being notified that it was
crucial?!
Versions 0.8-6 and 0.8-6.1 (my first NMU of the package) did not remove
the entries for mdns of nsswitch.conf. I knew this fact when I
uploaded the NMU but did not address it as the maintainer of the
package had described this fact explicitely in README.Debian which
explained this would result in an unnoticable delay; from
0.8-6/nss-mdns-0.8/debian/README.Debian:
Note: this is never removed once installed, the side-effect of not removing
the entry is that there is a slight delay (similiar to how the Standard C
libraries searches for optimised versions) during program startup and execution
It turned out to cause problems to leave this entries, and I re-added a
postrm snippet based on work by Joey Hess in his 0.8-4.2 NMU of the
package. I've re-added the removal in my second NMU, 0.9-0.1.
You probably removed the package in version 0.8-6.1, if you upgrade and
remove it in version 0.9-0.1, it should not cause the side effects you
noticed.
