Can anyone who /knows/ tell me what the proper officially correct ways of
setting the hostname and the FQDN are, please?
Thanks,

in /etc/hostname :
myhostname
in /etc/hosts:
10.0.0.120 myhostname.mydomain.com myhostname
set those then run /etc/init.d/hostname.sh as root, this gets ran at boot
up, but you can run it and reset the hostname this way.
now when I run hostname -f I get my FQDN, you'll have to restart any
services that rely on this as well after changing it.
