Title:
  Setting the hostname to ubuntu reports an error

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  If you set the hostname to ubuntu on the user setup page, an error
  message will appear explaining that hostname already exists on the
  network.  This is because ubuntu maps to the loopback address.  We
  should filter out hosts entries.
