Thank you -- that answers my question:

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch05.en.html#_the_hostname_resolution

The IP address 127.0.1.1 in the second line of this example may not be 
found on some other Unix-like systems. The Debian Installer creates this 
entry for a system without a permanent IP address as a workaround for 
some software (e.g., GNOME) as documented in the bug #719621.
