Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

I think I have always been seeing this message for ages:
LOG: preinst
Defaulting /etc/host.conf:multi to on

And I have never seen it as really useful to be shown on every build :/, personally I would decrease it to einfo or at least suggest what should admins do about that setting :|

Thanks

    The logic of the setting makes sense though...
