Well, for this case, a host without domain would be just a host in which there is not a FQDN in /etc/hosts for the hostname, for example: 192.168.1.3 myhost If you can modify /etc/hosts in your own computer, you should be able in theory to reproduce the failure. Note: If you try plain dpkg-buildpackage to reproduce the error (as I did right now to test the patch), you have to temporarily rename your $HOME/.gitconfig file (where you will probably have another email setting for git). Thanks a lot.
