I have confirmed that "hostname" in the mail sent by apticron matches
the output of "hostname -A", and not that of "hostname -f". ("hostname
-f" produces the name it used to use, and that I wish it still used.)

-A seems just wrong here, since it completely ignores the host
configuration and uses only information from the DNS, which may not even
exist (presumably producing no output), and, when it does exist, is not
infrequently not under the control of the host admin.
