just the implementation details make me cry:

currently we have:

/etc/init.d/update-hostname

then we have (notice how nicely the name is twisted):

/etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname-update

which calls

/usr/sbin/update-hostname-from-ip

OH! On a closer look I see that update-hostname also calls update-hostname-
from-up so thats a bit saner.

still I'm thinking whether the dhclient-exit-hook should be moved to 
/etc/network/if-down.d for consistency reasons?

opinions?
