While testing out nss-resolve, I discovered that after enabling it, myhostname becomes useless:

• *.localhost maps to 127.0.0.1 and ::1
• The local hostname resolves to the public addresses of the host
• gateway resolves to the routing gateway address

All three tested with getent ahosts $1, having disabled myhostname. Has nss-myhostname become superfluous when nss-resolve is installed? Or is this result only sometimes applicable? The documentation doesn't say, and in particular nss-resolve(8) does not mention that one should expect this behavior.

systemd 227-2 from debian (plus enabling nss-resolve).
