No, libnss-mdns does not enhance Wine functionality in any way 
whatsoever. It has just caused problems for Wine, as it will for 
anything else running in 32-bit mode. The functionality that libnss-mdns 
provides to a Linux system may be useful for some people, but I suspect 
for a lot of people it'd be completely superfluous and just take up 
resources. I don't think it's reasonable to depend on it.
