Package: src:freedombox
Version: 24.8

Dear freedombox maintainers,

freedombox currently Recommends libnss-gw-name with the following justification: "Resolve gateway.localhost".

However, «Development of the NSS service gw_name stopped in 2015. The associated package libnss-gw-name may be removed in future Debian releases. The upstream developer suggests using libnss-myhostname instead.» [1]

Could you please remove libnss-gw-name and transition to libnss-myhostname?

Also note that when systemd-resolved is in use, `gateway.localhost` will be resolved to 127.0.0.1/::1, in case the user's nsswitch.conf file specifies `resolve` before `gw_name`.

Regards,
