Hi Robert,

Sorry for the late reply. This script is specific to the Debian/Ubuntu
packages and is not upstream. And actually due to libnss-mdns improvements
this script is not required in Focal as libnss-mdns automatically
determines if a .local domain exists and directs the queries appropriately.
The version in 18.04 (Bionic) however does technically still require it.

In terms of how to submit a patch it would be upstream to Debian and/or
Ubuntu directly by filing a bug in the relevant packaging systems.


I am the maintainer of Avahi upstream but also active in the Ubuntu
development and happy to discuss your patches/thoughts/changes - feel free
to open a Launchpad bug and we can always curate it and then send it
upstream to Debian. The debian maintainers are also fairly responsive.

Regards,
Trent
