So, it looks to me like the 'nameserver' aliases associated with the 'domain' 
entries in debian's
/etc/services are probably wrong and should probably be removed.
Is the 'nameserver' entry on port 42 also supposed to have a udp entry on port 
42 too?

I wonder if the whole list should be updated, as it looks like there have been 
many changes
upstream that never made it into debian...  Would it be helpful if I submitted 
a patch?
Or does someone else want to do the dirty work?
