Bug#755848: preseed d-i netcfg/hostname does not set hostname
Package: netcfg
Version: 1.131
Followup-For: Bug #755848
As described in preseed example, setting 'netcfg/hostname' should "...force a hostname, regardless of what eigher the DHCP server returns...".
This worked with latest wheezy installer. In jessie it doesn't.
'debconf-get-selections --installer' tells me, that my custom hostname was set correctly during installation.
In sourcecode 'dhcp.c' of the netcfg-package (line 565-577) it's still present.
But hostname still keeps 'debian'...
