I agree. Thanks for proposing it.

Adding Maxim to the list of recipients (Maxim: in case you don't read
tails-dev anymore, please go read the email I'm replying to in the
list archives :)

The use of "user" as a hostname seems totally counter-intuitive to me.
How about using "host" or "hostname" instead?

My proposal would then be:

username: user
/etc/hostname: host
/etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 host.localdomain host

Cheers,
