localhost is normally 127.0.0.1, so that this does not contradict
the setting of 127.0.1.1.
On my machine, I have (and I think this is just what the Debian
installation gave me):
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 qaa.vinc17.org qaa
One can see this also in the hosts(5) man page:
# The following lines are desirable for IPv4 capable hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
# 127.0.1.1 is often used for the FQDN of the machine
127.0.1.1 thishost.example.org thishost
[...]
