Cron job uses hostname -f

[luca]

The cron job scripts use hostname -f, which shouldn't be used according to hostname(1):

       If a machine has multiple network interfaces/addresses or is used in a mobile environment, then it may either
       have multiple FQDNs/domain names or none at all. Therefore avoid using hostname --fqdn, hostname --domain and
       dnsdomainname. hostname --ip-address is subject to the same limitations so it should be avoided as well.

This is fixed in the package I just pushed to Debian unstable (1.4.2-1).
