I think the two issues here should be disentangled.  In  particular I
think the problem with NetworkManager should be split out and tracked as
a separate bug.

To be clear the problem with NetworkManager is that it doesn't take the
complete set of actions necessary so that "hostname -f" and
gethostbyname(2) return the correct domainname.  In NetworkManager cases
the /etc/network/interfaces is just:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Everything else is handled by NetworkManager.  NetworkManager correctly
constructs /etc/resolv.conf.  It needs to do something else: either
rewrite /etc/hosts or something.

Users should NOT be required to edit /etc/hosts unless they have special
requirements when using NetworkManager.  All the info comes from DHCP.
