Package: libnss-systemd
Version: 258.1-2
Severity: normal

Hey.

Not sure how that came into existence (at least I never did it manually), but
my /etc/nsswitch.conf has the systemd entry multiple times:
```
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.

passwd:         files systemd systemd
group:          files systemd systemd
shadow:         files systemd
gshadow:        files systemd

hosts:          files mymachines libvirt_guest dns
networks:       files

protocols:      db files
services:       db files
ethers:         db files
rpc:            db files

netgroup:       nis
```

That was already the case before 258.1-2, though I don't know
when it startet.

Cheers,
Chris.
