I really don't feel like fixing this correctly in vmbuilder at the moment.  
Doing so I think would be to either:
a.) add a '--no-local-host-entry' like field
b.) allow '--host' to be 'null' or 'unset' special case.  On that, the 
127.0.1.1 entry would not be written.

Neither of those are trivial.  The reason for this is that the values
populated into /etc/hosts come from the '--hostname' and '--domain'
arguments.   --hostname (vm.hostname) is used:

$ grep vm.hostname -r * -l
VMBuilder/plugins/libvirt/__init__.py
VMBuilder/plugins/ubuntu/dapper.py
VMBuilder/plugins/virtualbox/vm.py
VMBuilder/plugins/vmware/vm.py

So, I'm planning on removing the 127.0.1.1 entry in a '--execscript'
script that will be pasted from build-ec2-image
