Public bug reported:

In jammy/antelope repo openvswitch-common=3.1.0-1~cloud0 contain a buggy
version of OVS that does not respect `ovs-vsctl add` command, so instead
of appending values it does replace them.

```
root at aio1:/home/ubuntu# ovs-vsctl list open .|grep hostname
external_ids        : {hostname=aio1.openstack.local, ovn-bridge-mappings="vlan:br-provider,lbaas:br-octavia", ovn-cms-options=enable-chassis-as-gw, ovn-encap-ip="172.29.240.100", ovn-encap-type=geneve, ovn-remote="ssl:172.29.236.100:6642", rundir="/var/run/openvswitch", system-id="bbad02ce-ab79-42c0-8f54-ce0b7e732c59"}

Description: Open vSwitch common components
 Open vSwitch is a production quality, multilayer, software-based,
 Ethernet virtual switch. It is designed to enable massive network
 automation through programmatic extension, while still supporting
 standard management interfaces and protocols (e.g. NetFlow, IPFIX,
 sFlow, SPAN, RSPAN, CLI, LACP, 802.1ag). In addition, it is designed
 to support distribution across multiple physical servers similar to
 VMware's vNetwork distributed vswitch or Cisco's Nexus 1000V.
 .
 openvswitch-common provides components required by both openvswitch-switch
 and openvswitch-testcontroller.

N: There are 2 additional records. Please use the '-a' switch to see them.

This can be workarounded with setting `OPTIONS="--no-record-hostname"`
in /etc/default/openvswitch-switch

Path in OVS has been already proposed:
