Can you please verify whether this is still fixed in 0.11-1 from
unstable?

Upstream comments on
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1337755&group_id=86976&atid=581579

The @@ifnhost and @@ifhost directives were intended to match
only the hostname without the domainname.  So in your
example, "otherhostname.tld" is not a valid token for
@@ifnhost.  It should just be:

@@ifnhost otherhostname
# check sources for modifications
/usr/src L
/usr/local/src L
@@endif 

See [ 1430482 ] fix for the broken @@ifhost and @@ifnhost
directives for details on a patch to fix these directives.

I suspect that this is also fixed in 0.11-1, please verify.

I am marking this bug to be closed by the end of may 2006 shouldn't we
find out that it still applies until then.

Greetings
Marc
