    Hi Michael, Robert,

    I've just had an instance of user confusion regarding unbound-hosts'
    function happen in front of me. Mirroring the confusion in #508053.

    Contemporary DNS debugging is confusing enough already I think we should
    rename the package and binary. I propose unbound-lookup -- just to get the bikeshedding going ;-). Something implying that it does a lookup at the
    root may be better.

    I don't see any packages in Debian using unbound-host direcly:
    https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=unbound-host&page=1&perpkg=1

    Happy to forward this upstream too but I think we should move on this first
    and before trixie still.
