We default hostname to ${MACHINE}, but it's not in /etc/hosts,

So add entry to /etc/hosts according to /etc/hostname. We do
this via pkg_postinst because hostname is set in base-files
recipe.
RP and myself are still arguing over this so I thought I'd make my
argument on the list for debate.
Updating /etc/hosts is being done with a postinst in netbase simply
because /etc/hostname is contained in the base-files recipe. I
advocate just moving the creation of /etc/hosts to base-files along
with /etc/hostname, then base-files can write both files at the same
time. There's already a dependency on base-files from netbase so
there will be no change in the rootfs, a file will just move between
packages.
Coming back to this after the holidays, I agree with Ross, we should
move /etc/hostname to base-files and keep this simple. I'd like to get
this fixed, could you update the patch please?
Cheers,
Richard
Yes. I'll send out a new patch.
