Another workaround (where the first is to use the Ubuntu packages, see above) is to install network-manager.
After installing network-manager, you have to remove from /etc/network/interfaces all interfaces that you want network-manager to handle. Network-manager handles all interfaces not in that file, and it does properly send the host name in the DHCP request (I just tried it).
