Since this missed Ubuntu 18.04.1, I think we're going to just leave
things as they are for 18.04.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-control-center -
1:3.28.1-0ubuntu2

gnome-control-center (1:3.28.1-0ubuntu2) cosmic; urgency=medium
* Rename ubuntu-gnome-version.patch to distro-logo.patch for proposed
upstreaming to Debian. Drop the hardcoded use of the Ubuntu font.
** Description changed:
- gnome-control-center added a Recommends: libnss-myhostname years ago so
- that it was possible to easily change the hostname in the Details panel.
- That dependency no longer appears to be needed since we switched to
- systemd-resolved.

gnome-control-center uses hostnamed via D-Bus to change the hostname.
The documentation says to use libnss-myhostname. Good luck convincing the
systemd maintainers to change their mind on this issue.

Yes, I understand the reason for the Recommends. By "integrating with
this", I meant that gnome-control-center's backend (which I believe is
hostnamectl) should be updating /etc/hosts in addition to /etc/hostname.

The dependency wasn't added so that gnome-control-center could resolve
the hostname but so that everything else could resolve the hostname when
gnome-control-center is used to change the hostname.
Anyway, the dependency is already dropped in our bzr branch. This issue
just didn't seem critical
Every Ubuntu system is installed with an entry in /etc/hosts pointing to
127.0.1.1 for the hostname. gnome-control-center should be integrating
with this, and not just relying on either libnss-myhostname or systemd-
resolved to resolve the hostname. The local hostname should be
resolvable
