I would say: if there is already a FQDN[*] without libnss-myhostname,
then do not try to change anything. Really, users should have a
(locally) resolvable FQDN by default e.g. just with something like:

127.0.1.1  nodename.domain.tld  nodename

in the /etc/hosts file (if the user doesn't own a domain and doesn't
have a fixed FQDN assigned by the network provider, he can choose an
arbitrary value, but it should be used only locally and/or with the
SMTP smarthost of his ISP).

[*] not necessarily resolvable, because this may occur during a
temporary network problem.
