            Bug ID: 64962
           Summary: /etc/mailname is set to
                    "labs-vmbuilder-precise.eqiad.wmflabs"
           Product: Wikimedia Labs
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General

On a freshly created instance, /etc/mailname is set to
"labs-vmbuilder-precise.eqiad.wmflabs", and that doesn't get fixed by
subsequent Puppet runs either.  Quoting mailname(5):

| DESCRIPTION
|        The  file /etc/mailname is a plain ASCII configura‐
|        tion file, which on a Debian  system  contains  the
|        visible  mail  name  of  the system.  It is used by
|        many different programs, usually programs that wish
|        to send or relay mail, and need to know the name of
|        the system.

|        The file contains  only  one  line  describing  the
|        fully  qualified domain name that the program wish‐
|        ing to get the  mail  name  should  use  (that  is,
|        everything after the @).

Git is one of those programs that use /etc/mailname to determine the default
mail address of a user.
