Closing the NM task as Invalid and opening one for systemd. NM uses
gethostname() (at least, in vivid), which should be returning the right
value.
Here if I reproduce the issue by adding a comment in /etc/hostname, I
get the hostname set very early at boot, much before NetworkManager is
started.

Bug description:
As found at bug 1052664
$ dpkg-query --show network-manager
network-manager 0.9.6.0-0ubuntu7
$ cat /etc/hostname
# xxxxxxx by cloud-init

This *should* be ok, as per 'man hostname':
-F, --file filename
Read the host name from the specified file. Comments (lines
starting with a `#') are ignored.
However, network-manager does not ignore the comments.
