nss-myhostname is helpful to resolve local hostname without domain. For instance, if we set hostname to myboard and ping myboard without .local suffix, it fails if /etc/hosts stays unchanged. nss-myhostname modifies /etc/nsswitch.conf file. It set myhostname resolution just after files in hosts line, for example: hosts: files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns This choice comes from Debian commit [1] and Yocto recipe [2]. Also, nss-myhostname author suggests myhostname should be used as a backup and appended at the end of hosts line. Both choices are valid. Discussion on Debian bug tracker [3] gives some details on issue that may occurs using nss-myhostname (see fqdn). Note nss-myhostname is already included in systemd, so ensure is conflicts with it.
