  the system does not ignore comments in /etc/hostname

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  As found at bug 1052664

  $ dpkg-query --show network-manager
  network-manager	0.9.6.0-0ubuntu7

  $ cat /etc/hostname
  # xxxxxxx by cloud-init
  domU-12-31-39-0C-6C-81

  This *should* be ok, as per 'man hostname':
         -F, --file filename
                Read the host name from the specified file. Comments (lines
                starting with a `#') are ignored.

  However, network-manager does not ignore the comments.
