Yup, that very line. It's wrong either way:
a) In the absence of libnss-myhostname own hostname does not correspond

b) In the presence of libnss-myhostname that line does not come into
play.
c) FQDN, anyone?

a very basic /etc/apt/sources.list that will allow installing additional
packages'.

Not a Debian per se, but Raspbian lives happily without it.
