Hmm, maybe I did not explain it well enough.

By "it has just this" I was only talking about lines containing the hostname,
not that the line above was the full contents of /etc/hosts.

I have a line for localhost, of course.

I'll repeat the build a few more times to see if this still happens,
but "minor" is probably lowering too much if your intention was to let
this package migrate to testing.

Thanks.
