Sorry for the delay, this slipped through my inbox and I just now found
this by chance.

As agreed back then.

username: user

hostname: host

127.0.0.1 host.localdomain host

(Implemented in https://github.com/Whonix/anon-base-files - which is a
package supposed to be shared among privacy focused distributions.)
