Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debian-installer
In the last several versions of ubuntu, an 'arbitrary' minimum hostname
length has been imposed on users. It specifies in the debian installer
that a hostname should be between 2 and 63 characters long. In the
graphical installer (as mentioned in bug 52501) it specifies 3 to 63
characters. Neither of these is correct, and based on the discrepancy,
it certainly appears arbitrary. According to RFC1034, a label (hostname)
can be 0 to 63 octets (characters), but needs be at least one, since the
0-length refers to the root.
** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
