Bug#644389: suspect non-working mdadm.conf created during install

i' don't know if it's the initramfs shipped with d-i, but today i did an 
offline install. no net, no DHCP, no hetzner datacenter.
i completely understand what happens as i'm able to boot the system by 
manually assembling the array and fixing the problem, but how the wrong 
hostname slips into the initramfs should be investigated by debians devs.

that's what i'm talking about.

yes.
