When you say libnss-mdns is not useful, do you mean lib32nss-mdns is not
useful either?    Ability to connect to the internet is certainly
useful!

Could you expand on what you mean when you say it's not useful?

As for the Depends: question, a Suggests: dependency (if not
Recommends:) might help libnss-mdns/lib32nss-mdns get connected to a
wine installation.
