On a related note, is trying network access to localhost RC?
It's ok if you try to connect to a service started by the build process itself (please downgrade again if my severity change was wrong). This is the exact wording in policy:
For packages in the main archive, required targets must not attempt network access, except, via the loopback interface, to services on the build host that have been started by the build.
It is not ok if you try to use a service which was already running in the host machine. Here is a funny example of that: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1028163 I guess that according to the spirit of the norm, it's also not ok to do DNS queries, as that's "communication with the outside world". Thanks.
