I'm really confused by this. First, why is it necessary to set the
hostname (within the chroot, I guess with the unfortunate but
[perhaps?] unavoidable consequence that it affects outside the chroot
too).
Second, why isn't it clear why the hostname shouldn't be changed back?
Otherwise everyone's machine gets renamed localhost.localdomain.

if [ -f chroot/etc/hostname ]
then
# Save hostname file
mv chroot/etc/hostname chroot/etc/hostname.orig
fi
# Create hostname file
echo "localhost.localdomain" > chroot/etc/hostname
# Set hostname
Chroot "hostname -F /etc/hostname"
[...]
# Set hostname (somehow this seems to be really needed :/)
if [ -f /etc/hostname ]
then
hostname -F /etc/hostname
fi
