Bug#606636: Reverse DNS takes precedence over netcfg/get_hostname



Package: netcfg
Version: 1.46

The value specified using "netcfg/get_hostname" seems to be ignored, if a 
reverse DNS entry is present for the IP-address of the server being installed.


Seems to be a bit similar to this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544513 (dhcp returned hostname take precedence on 
netcfg/get_hostname)
Except in my case it seems the reverse DNS hostname is used, instead of the 
DHCP hostname.


I think netcfg/get_hostname should take precendence over everything else.


Yours sincerely,

Floris Bos
