Debian installer should take the hostname in that order (later taking
preference):

 - "default" as default

 - Value from DHCP

 - Value from original firmware (if any)

So if you get "debian", I assume no value comes from DHCP. (And I
assume you no longer have an original firmware config since you're
doing new Debian installations to the same disk.)

Peter confirmed the installer got the hostname from DHCP.  Are you
saying this is broken, or does your DHCP not supply a hostname?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
