Bug Description

Personally I don't consider the system's hostname to be sensitive information, but someone must do because bugs created by "ubuntu-bug" appear to substitute "hostname" for the hostname in some entries, such as ProcKernelCmdLine. The real hostname is still present in HibernationDevice though, so that one was missed.

If it was deemed worth eliding this info from ProcKernelCmdLine then it's probably worth doing it in HibernationDevice as well, as this disk layout is the default for putting everything inside dm-crypt.
