Bug#258554: Network Settings|Hosts misuses the term 'Alias'

[Thomas Hood]

Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 0.33.0-1
Severity: normal

Network Settings|Hosts identifies all the host names associated with
a particular IP address as "Aliases".  However, traditionally the term
'alias' refers only to names other than the first one listed, the
latter being called the "canonical host name".  See hosts(5).
