Currently hostnamed prints the following error in syslog:
systemd-hostnamed[24508]: Warning: nss-myhostname is not installed. Changing the local hostname might make it unresolveable. Please install nss-myhostname!
Since nss-myhostname was rejected as being the right approach in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnss-myhostname/+bug/1162478/comments/6 , we should not print the warning message in the LTS release, even if hostnamed doesn't currently modify /etc/hosts (LP: #1162475).
Can we please patch this warning out to prevent users from thinking something is wrong on their system and leading them to install libnss-myhostname?
