[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#513874: Bug caussed by /etc/network/interfaces file

[Sam Morris]

reassign 513852 network-manager
forcemerge 513874 513852
thanks

It turns out that this bug is caused by the attached interfaces file.
Specifically, the 'home' interface stanza--commenting that out causes
the system to return to normal.

I've no idea why network-manager is setting the system hostname to
'localhost.localdomain' (see the merged bug, above) but commenting out
the 'home' interface also prevents this from occurring.
