For the xen-tools case there is a simpler workaround, in the role-script
just temporarily replace the hostname by a custom script ($prefix beeing
the chroot environement..), e.g.:
..
mv ${prefix}/bin/hostname ${prefix}/bin/hostname.backup
cat > ${prefix}/bin/hostname << EOF
#!/bin/bash
echo "${hostname}"
EOF
chmod 755 ${prefix}/bin/hostname
installDebianPackage ${prefix} ssmtp
mv ${prefix}/bin/hostname.backup ${prefix}/bin/hostname
..
(setting the hostname via the binary in chroot is not really an option
because it would change also the hostname of the Dom0..)
