I would like to contribute the (Debian) Linux version of hostname(1)
and would suggest to remove the GNU hostname command from coreutils

This version of hostname allows to show the FQDN (-f), DNS domain
name (-d, dnsdomainname), alias names (-a, -A) or network addresses
(-i, -I). Works reasonably on Cygwin.

It is a slightly patched version of hostname 3.12 from Debian
unstable which is at least also used on Fedora.
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/hostname

The packages below are intended for testing. Command and man page
are installed as "hostname-linux" with the usual symlinks
"domainname" and "dnsdomainname". This should keep hostname from
coreutils intact.
[...]
I'm just generating a 64 bit coreutils package without hostname.
If you provide a new 64 bit package with hostname being called
hostname, I could upload them together later today.
Just FYI, the hostnameless coreutils package is ready for upload.



New 64bit package with command named "hostname", category changed to "Base":

wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=2 \
