Yes, the installation-guide under
https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/apbs04.en.html
even explicitly states this, indeed:
# If you want to force a hostname, regardless of what either the DHCP
# server returns or what the reverse DNS entry for the IP is,
uncomment # and adjust the following line. #d-i netcfg/hostname
string somehost
However, that requires a per-host preseed, where as with kernel
command line I can have the same preseed for all my hosts (or at least
all hosts in a certain category) and simply just pass in a hostname in
the tftpseed (which has to be host specific anyway and for me is
already generated by my provisioning system).
You can use that parameter on the kernel command line. And thus retain
the generic preseed file.
So perhaps it would be useful to have a like netcfg/hostname_priority
flag where one can choose a priority order?
No priority flag required.
