Title:
  Expert install defaults to invalid hostname

Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “netcfg” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Running the expert install with D-I, it gives the first part of the IP
  address I entered during manual network configuration as the
  recommended hostname.  The installer should not allow, let alone
  recommend, invalid hostnames.  See attached screenshot.
