With the recent deprecation of net-tools I did notice some changes:

- The binary 'hostname' now accepts remarkably few options,  specifically 'hostname -d' no longer works. - The command 'dnsdomainname' disappeared.  (I'm not really sure why I  ended up using it though, since 'hostname -d' would have worked just  as well.)

I have read FS#24647 already, so I'm aware that some of this is being worked on.  What I'm wondering is, what can I do in the meantime to get 'hostname -d' back?

Install net-tools and coreutils from [testing], where this has already been resolved (reverted to the old behavior). -t
