God dammit!
do not - I repeat - DO NOT add "etherconf" to your packages - it will screw up your /etc/hostname file!
Oh man, and I didn't even need etherconf...

Hello,
as I've mentioned on the IRC channel, the $HOSTNAME bugged me at several occasions, which I could nearly fix, only at one FAI task it is still a problem: While installing the software packages, the hostname seems to get set to ".localdomain.fake". Some of my self-baked .debs use the hostname in order to configure themself, thus this is a bit annoying for me.
I have one suspicion: Could it be that when the packages are installed, there is some basic system package which installs the file /etc/hostname to the target directory, writing this ".localdomain.fake" into it, which then the following packages see as the hostname?
If that is the case, then a hook right before the package install task which installs this basic system package using 'chroot /tmp/target/apt-get install packagename' and puts the correct hostname into the file afterwards should do it.
The question is: which package could that be?
