I just send a patch that sets the hostname in the example-raw recipe.

I took a look at those configscripts and some cleanup there might be 
necessary. For instance I don't know if:

     dpkg --configure -a

is still necessary to be done here, since all packages should be 
installed via apt now.

So maybe I should also prepare a patch that removes all those presumably 
unnecessary commands.

Claudius
