I think we should just reconsider shipping libnss-myhostname by default.

Title:
  hostnamectl --set-hostname doesn't update /etc/hosts

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  hostnamectl is a System API that updates all important OS references
  to the hostname, so the operator does not need to know them.

  Having to manually update /etc/hosts defeats the purpose of having the
  System API & leaves the OS in an inconsistent state
