Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: wishlist

mdadm in incremental mode needs the hostname to be able to work
without a configuration file, which would make RAID-boot much more
robust. Instead of mdadm touching
/proc/sys/kernel/{host,domain}name, it feels like initramfs should
do that.

The attached scripts take care of it. hostname is the hook, and
00hostname the script for init-top. It might make more sense to put
this into local-top though, I don't really know how it interacts
with netboot.
