where is /etc/hosts supposed to come from?



I've just done a debootstrap install of Lenny, and /etc/hosts doesn't exist.  
Where is /etc/hosts supposed to come from?  I think it should have something 
like the following (copied from an ancient Debian install).

127.0.0.1       localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
