Other than missing update for some manual page (not sure where this
should go) I don't see a problem adding this patch. "Normal" users
should be able already get similar functionality already by simply
preloading a custom patched libc, so I don't see a problem supporting
this.

I agree with this statement. If users really want to, they can
compile their own libc. However, nectar@ has added the following
comment in nsdispatch.c:

% #if defined(_NSS_DEBUG) && defined(_NSS_SHOOT_FOOT)
% /* NOTE WELL: THIS IS A SECURITY HOLE. This must only be built
% * for debugging purposes and MUST NEVER be used in production.
% */
% path = getenv("NSSWITCH_CONF");
% if (path == NULL)
% #endif
% path = _PATH_NS_CONF;

We should remove this #if clause because of your argument. I'm not sure
it is worth documenting it however.
