Hi, I'm installing Debian Stretch using a preseed file, the preseed file
is common for multiple hosts with the exception of the hostname.

boot: auto hostname=try domain=example.com ...
url=tftp://hostname/preseed.cfg

The host name specified is not used when Debian is installed, it is
always set to 'bad'.

I understand the limitations but what is the proper way to specify the
desired hostname or are workarounds (1) the way to go?

Any help/hints is appriciated.
