Other people solves this by putting the FQDN in /etc/hostname. I am not sure whether this is a viable solution. For me, it's enough proof Installer does it differently.Why not? If your system has a real stable hostname then of course you should put it there. Other people already told you that it will solve your problem.
I think that this is one of those problems with multiple solutions none of which is 100% perfect for all use cases. d-i may be suboptimal or may already doing its best to have a default which works for the most common case given the information it knows.
nss-myhostname solves a lot of real life problems, so it is a good idea to install it by default. If you do not like how it works and have other ways to manually make sure that your system has a "good" hostname then good for you, nobody will get offended.
