Bug#275543: check hostname before setting



Package: base-config
Severity: wishlist

When using base-config in a chroot, it sets the hostname, which can
potentially break the host system. Maybe a solution would be to
check whether the hostname is non-empty and display a warning in
that case? That should not get in the way with normal operation of
base-config.
