), libnss-mdns modifies /etc/nsswitch.conf directly as part of its postinst.
I thought this wasn't allowed by Debian policy, but if I'm misunderstanding
I'm more than happy to adopt their solution.

On Ubuntu AuthClientConfig <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AuthClientConfig> seems
to serve a similar purpose. Assuming the above workaround was not
acceptable, would porting ACC to Debian and using that hook in my package be
so?
