Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

This is for this page: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/jeos-
and-vmbuilder.html

This guide omits a description of the --hostname option, and vmbuilder
(on Lucid) won't work without it (see bug 562189), so NONE of the
examples in the guide will work! If documentation has a criticality
level, I'd say this one rates highly, since it just cost me 2 weeks!

Appropriate text might be included with the networking options (--ip
etc):

--hostname The hostname (one word, must be DNS-safe). No default value;
Must be provided

I don't know if you have a house style for mandatory parameters, but
some kind of emphasis to make it clear would be good.

In all the example command lines, add something like the following:

--hostname myvm

HTH
