Gerry,
   Please open a new bug for whatever you see is not functioning correctly
in uname/hostname output.  The first step is to get it fixed in the
development release (natty) then we can work on backporting.
   We can pull back the behavioral change made in this bug back to lucid,
but for other issues, please open new bugs.
   Thank you for your interest.
   Scott
