Package: hostname
Version: 2.92
Severity: important
On a sarge machine:
$ hostname -V
hostname 2.13
$ hostname -vf
gethostname()=`foo'
Resolving `foo' ...
Result: h_name=`foo.example.com'
Result: h_aliases=`foo'
Result: h_addr_list=`10.0.0.1'
foo.example.com
On an etch machine:
$ hostname -V
hostname 2.91
$ hostname -vf
bar.example.com
(I filed this as important because the output 'hostname -vf' is an important
diagnostic tool when troubleshooting network configuration issues).

Giving that nobody answered for for six weeks I assume you agree that the
option is not really needed and therefore close the bug report. Feel free to
reopen if you deem approriate and you have some additional information.
