Public bug reported:

I upgraded to the karma alpha today using 'dist-upgrade -d'.

After rebooting, my /etc/hostname file was rewritten to "njs-laptop"
("njs" is my login). This computer already has a name, and that's not
it!

During the reboot it gave me the standard first time install questions
-- language, keyboard, timezone, initial user creation. I was a little
puzzled (perhaps the bug is that it did that?), but went along with it,
and typed in "njs" as my initial user. I didn't see anything about host
names there, but I guess that must be where the "njs-laptop" string came
from?
