The documented syntax of /etc/host.conf, per the host.conf(5) manpage,
is to use a comma-separated list of keywords. It sounds like you were
using some other software that parses this file incorrectly.
Nothing to fix in base-files.

Title:
hosts file is not read
Status in “base-files” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: base-files
Problem is atleast on ubuntu 9.04. Noticed while using a hosts file
and dnsmasq dns and dhcp server. I wanted the DNS-server to reply
first based on my hosts file but it didn't read this file it only used
the dns servers replies.
Orginal file
cat /etc/host.conf
# The "order" line is only used by old versions of the C library.
order hosts,bind
multi on
How it should be. The comma is not allowed in the configuration, only allowed is # and whitespace.
cat /etc/host.conf
# The "order" line is only used by old versions of the C library.
order hosts bind
multi on
