Command "host 127.0.0.1" does not return localhost on Ubuntu 20.04. Is it possible to have it return localhost like it does in Ubuntu 18.04? We've got some tests that require this to work as it used to.

20.04:

root@ubuntu2004-x8664:~# host 127.0.0.1
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa has no PTR record

18.04:

root@ubuntu1804-x8664:~# host 127.0.0.1
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer localhost.

Thanks in advance. Brendan
