We modified the init scripts to support either hostname type. The
coreutils one is the bad one, I believe. I _thought_ we already
modified coreutils to dump hostname from its list of stuff to install so
that net-tools got its good one in.

coreutils doesn't need to depend on net-tools. net-tools is part of the
basesystem. More exactly, coreutils doesn't actually depend on
net-tools anyways, so it would simply be incorrect.
