> It's surprising that initramfs-tools' init calls hostname, but doesn't
take any steps to make it available in the initramfs.

I guess it's quite sane to not have the hostname leak into the
initramfs. The initramfs stays universal to boot different root
filsystems. And if a root filesystem is encrypted, having the hostname
in initramfs might be even less desired.

The new mdadm should be able to incrementally assemble any arrays
plugged securely, without needing/doing any hostname checks on the
member devices, relying on UUIDs instead to prevent wrong assemblies. So
this hostname insertion should just be a temporary workaround, and go
away with an update to a more recent mdadm version.
