[conspire] Debian 8 'Jessie' compiled-in system resolver IP

[Rick Moen]

Debian bug complaining about this pathological behaviour (that got closed as
wontfix):  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=761658

To answer the question I pose at the bottom (below), I notice that the
Debian bug was filed against package 'systemd'.

I don't normally <aol></aol> me-too content-free comments, but:

Wow.  Just wow.  {boggle}

I really had no idea.  That's an order of magnitude worse than anything
I had suspected.  Failtastic.

Any idea which... talented person wrote that changeset for the system
resolver?  And how I avoid sharing cities, time zones, preferably
continents, etc. with him/her?  ;->
