Bug Description
I upgraded to the karma alpha today using 'dist-upgrade -d'.
After rebooting, my /etc/hostname file was rewritten to "njs-laptop" ("njs" is my login). This computer already has a name, and that's not it!
During the reboot it gave me the standard first time install questions -- language, keyboard, timezone, initial user creation. I was a little puzzled (perhaps the bug is that it did that?), but went along with it, and typed in "njs" as my initial user. I didn't see anything about host names there, but I guess that must be where the "njs-laptop" string came from?

Gah, I have no brain. I upgraded with 'update-manager -d', of course (not apt-get dist-upgrade).
