Package: netcfg
As discussed in the debian-boot mailing list recently[0], netcfg should
(IMHO) never put the system hostname in /etc/hosts as an alias for
'localhost.localdomain'. If the system hostname cannot be added
to /etc/hosts as the canonical hostname for a permanent real IP address
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
86.44.102.62 pengo
then it should be written as the canonical hostname for a 127.* address.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.1.1 pengo
In the long run it may be better not to write the system hostname
into /etc/hosts at all.

[ Thomas Hood ]
* If there is no permanent IP address with which the system hostname
(i.e., that which is returned by the "hostname" command) can be
associated in /etc/hosts then associate it with address 127.0.1.1
rather than 127.0.0.1. Associating the system hostname with the
latter had the unwanted effect of making 'localhost.localdomain'
the canonical hostname associated with the system hostname.
That is, 'hostname --fqdn' returned 'localhost.localdomain'.
(Closes: #316099)
Programs that access local services at the IP address obtained by
resolving the system hostname SHOULD NOT DO THIS, but those that
do so will not be disappointed: most services that listen locally
listen on all 127/8 addresses, not just on 127.0.0.1.
.
[ Joshua Kwan ]
* Add a netcfg/dhcp_timeout template that can be preseeded in case
a network or a set of machines are known to take a long time to
acquire a DHCP lease.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Update GPL notices with the FSF's new address.
* Reword a couple of templates to avoid unnecessary Debian "branding".
* Close debconf client output when starting the DHCP client, to avoid the
DHCP client holding it open.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Add description for internal-usb template as used for usb net.
* Fix fallthrough on missing template.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Temporary workaround for #322723: use 'route add' instead of
'ip route add' for both dynamic and static network configuration.
* Fix error setting default value for new netcfg/dhcp_timeout template.
* Add myself to uploaders
