hostname not remembered between runs

Yeah, this is because the hostname question is done independently rather than being stored in debconf at that point. We can probably stuff it into debconf at some earlier stage to fix this bug.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.9.0

---------------
ubiquity (1.9.0) intrepid; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Fix ownership of /home/oem/Desktop in OEM installations (LP: #209683).
  * Silence deprecation warning in zoommap.
  * Add ubiquity-dm implementation for matchbox-window-manager (thanks,
    Patrick Hétu; see LP #159363).
  * Make use of RAWMINSIZE, RAWCURSIZE, and RAWMAXSIZE variables from
    partman-partitioning 59ubuntu2 to set accurate bounds on the resize
    widget.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Usability fixes for the timezone widget:
    - Make the hover-to-zoom areas relative to the widget size.
    - Zoom in on the location of the cursor, not the edge relative to its
      position.
    - Add a delay for zooming out.
  * Handle the migration-assistant UI being fed non-UTF data gracefully.
  * Make capitalization of migration-assistant consistent (LP: #225555).
  * Remember hostname between runs of ubiquity (LP: #40590).
  * Disable the close button for progress windows (LP: #107686).
  * Reset stay_on_page when the back button is pressed (LP: #235374).

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Enable --automatic and preseeding support on the Mythbuntu frontend.
