I haven't tested reboots, so cannot comment on it.

I've added linking of /usr/share/google/set-hostname to dhcp exit hooks
in providers.gce.tasks.host.SetHostname, but have not removed
/etc/hostname from image.
In my experience it worked - i.e. after start I got correct
hostname. Maybe it needs fixing though.

I think this script is called at some time of image generation (a kinda stop of dhcp service), however I do not see when it could be called.. Indeed, even if I active the task RemoveHostname (called before your SetHostname), I still have in my instance the name of the server where I generated the image.

This means that file /etc/hostname is still present on the generated image (as set-hostname does not overwrite it).

The service should not be called before first boot.

There is still small problem with GRUB settings - I had to comment
out one line in providers.gce.tasks.boot.ConfigureGrub as it was not
accepted by grub scripts.
