Ideally, I would like to see just the initial setting being changed, i. e. the
file /etc/mailname on the first boot, without it being managed by Puppet
afterwards.  But I don't know enough about our OpenStack setup if that is
feasible in Labs.

Then I think the patch can be merged (if the only-initial-setup solution isn't
possible/too complicated).  If we encounter further obstacles down the line, we
can always revert.
