 Why not? If your system has a real stable hostname then of course you 
 should put it there. Other people already told you that it will solve 
 your problem. 
  
 I think that this is one of those problems with multiple solutions none 
 of which is 100% perfect for all use cases. 
 d-i may be suboptimal or may already doing its best to have a default 
 which works for the most common case given the information it knows. 
  
 nss-myhostname solves a lot of real life problems, so it is a good idea 
 to install it by default. If you do not like how it works and have 
 other ways to manually make sure that your system has a "good" hostname 
 then good for you, nobody will get offended.
