Ouch.

And I tested now with the network up, and I get the same error as
you:

t/06_hosts.......
#   Failed test 'lookup without hosts file (67.207.145.70)'
#   at t/06_hosts.t line 54.

#   Failed test 'lookup without hosts file match (67.207.145.70)'
#   at t/06_hosts.t line 100.
# Looks like you failed 2 tests of 3.
dubious

I'm on my way to bed now and can't check further; I _seem_ to remember
that the changes in the version in unstable are rather minimal, maybe
we could ask the release team if they would let it migrate? Otherwise
a patch and t-p-u ...
