I doubt it. The bug in #844420 is that glibc fails to resolve entries
from /etc/hosts when they are fully qualified. It means with the
standard /etc/hosts, it fails to resolv "localhost." but succeed in
resolving "localhost".
In the python-apt bug, it seems that the entry to be resolved is
"localhost".
