Package: systemd
Version: 215-5+b1
Severity: minor
dmesg output gives:
systemd-hostnamed[3013]: Warning: nss-myhostname is not installed.
Changing the local hostname might make it unresolveable. Please
install nss-myhostname!
This is incorrect: nss-myhostname is not needed when there is a
/etc/hosts file. If installed, it makes some software, such as exim4,
fails to work correctly because of a clash between nss-myhostname
and usual /etc/hosts configuration (FQDN set up for IPv4 only).
See bug 756224, and in particular
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756224#114
for the explanation (in short, nss-myhostname adds IPv6 resolution,
but doesn't return the FQDN, while IPv4 resolution returns the FQDN
via /etc/hosts as expected).
This message should not be displayed when a /etc/hosts file is
present.

The presence of /etc/hosts does not mean that your local hostname is
configured there. It can easily get out of sync from what's configured
in /etc/hostname.
So the warning is correct as is.
Therefor closing the bug report.
