As an aside, I checked my current debian 12 bookworm installation and 
found in /etc/nsswitch.conf this line

hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname 
mymachines

when I do man nsswitch.conf there is no reference to mdns4_minimal

I see from searching that mdns4_minimal is referenced reasonably often 
over the past few years but I can't find it defined.

The question arises why it's not defined in man nsswitch.conf?
