debathena-zephyr-config should use Hesiod?

Description

At some point in the past, the Debian zhm didn't support Hesiod servers. That no longer seems to be the case.

We should find out if all the releases we support can do the Hesiod sloc lookups, and use that if they can.

Alternatively, since /etc/default/zephyr-clients is just shell, we could code the Hesiod lookup into there.

Replying to broder:

They do now -- the oldest Debian/Ubuntu? upstream version is the 20070719 snapshot, which has this code.

Probably a bad idea since you will confuse the debconf code, which will add a new zhm_args= line. See also

# This file is automatically rewritten by the zephyr-clients post-install
# script.  So treat it right.
