I think this bug is rather confused.  Are we down to mostly just making sure
something owns /etc/hosts and puts the '127.0.0.1 localhost' entry in there? 
Anything beyond that would be a Bad Idea.

This like this:

are *completely* bogus.  The IP used for the real hostname is important and 
has
nothing to do with personal taste, and is relevant to a lot more than just
webservers.  We start messing with this, we break a lot of servers.  Whoever
told you that was completely clueless.
