The following commit has been merged in the master branch:
commit 95f01da30d44aaa510056e8bf84f55da3cd6281c

    Switch the Depends on 'host | bind9-host' to prefer bind9-host instead. I did
    this because the 'host' package is from 2000 and is potentially being removed
    from the archive soon. It also doesn't support various flags (such as -T) which
    provide useful functionality. Its not a functional change for facter, but I've
    received complaints that 'host' was installed because of facter, as it is pulled
    in by preference default by aptitude
