Already set.

$ hostname -a
shows what the machine thinks is its fqdn

Now, this answers with an empty string.

hostname -f and --fqdn give the answer I was wanting
to see.

check also
/etc/networking/interfaces
for holdover of old domain name.

There is no such file. Did you mean /etc/network/interfaces?
That exists and has all the interfaces data, but no mention
of a domain name.

But where does the system keep the domain name it uses at boot?


Doing
man hostname  or sethostname might be in order here.
