Ok, I stand corrected. Last version of 'w' which shows hostnames by
default seems to be 3.3.3 they put in wheezy:
First, wheezy's 'w' did not have '-i' option at all.
Second, wheezy's debian/rules contains this '--enable-w-from' configure
option that I missed:
override_dh_auto_configure:
./configure \
--build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) \
--enable-watch8bit --enable-w-from \
--enable-skill \
--prefix=/usr \
--exec-prefix=/ \
--libdir=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
