Adjust d/changelog entry and comment in sbin/update-hostname-from-ip.

Keep NetBIOS compliant hostnames and explain why this is still useful after
the related bugs (samba-common-bin, caja-share) have been fixed.

-  * Generate netbios compliant hostname (workaround for Samba bug #900908).
-    The MATE desktop pulls in 'samba-common-bin' via 'caja-share' causing
-    installations (except main-server) with 'desktop=mate' to break. Instead
-    of e.g. 'auto-mac-11-22-33-44-55-66', now 'am-112233445566' is generated.
-    (Closes: #900629).
+  * Generate NetBIOS compliant hostname; this allows one to keep the hostname
+    in case the MATE desktop is configured to use file sharing via Samba.
+    Same applies if a roaming workstation is configured to connect to an
+    active directory DC (via tools/setup-ad-client).
