This is simply wrong.  It means that when programs on the host try to
find the host's own IP address starting with its host name, they get
different (and wrong) answers to programs on other hosts.

I can see why D-I wants to do this but in our setup it is simply
entirely wrong.  Is there a way to suppress this (from preseed
maybe) ?

It might be possible to work around this in libvirt, but this is by no
means libvirt's fault.
