Title:
  /etc/hosts: hostname alias of loopback

Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  There is a bug in /etc/hosts. Your hostname is NO alias of 127.0.1.1.
  Only "localhost" is an alias for the loopback. When an application
  want to know your ip adresss, it will get 127.0.1.1. But this is not
  your ip adress in your local network!

  This is not right:
  127.0.1.1	HOSTNAME
