Sorry, I messed things up: This I had found out yet, by the same
way. However, /etc/init.d/hostname.sh is from sysvinit, and I couldn't
find the place where the rcS.d-link to hostname.sh is made, neiter in
sysvinit's postinst nor in debootstrap.

I don't add the package, I just update it from "prehistoric" version
0.82 to 0.92. But the init script and link are there, even in the old
package. I just wanted to be sure that it doesn't break with recent
changes.
