 Probably created for convenience, in line with the /etc/hostname.
The /etc/hostname file has no purpose but to store the hostname to be
then read by the 'hostname' program, that set's the hostname at
startup.  The debian version of it, has a special parameter '-f' that
read's the hostname from a file.

 Maybe a /etc/domain is there for NIS/YP?
