This is my first time poking around this part of the system so I'm not
sure what to expect. Reading the manpage for nsswitch.conf led me to
believe that the libnss_* libraries would be found directly under /lib.
However, on my Debian systems, they are split up by architecture like
this:

$ find /lib -name "*libnss*"

./i386-linux-gnu/libnss_dns-2.24.so
