network-admin won't be back in Lucid since it conflicts with
NetworkManager in most of its features BUT hostname setting. That's why
it's been removed for a few releases now.

It's really sad there's no GUI to change hostname, but adding a whole
tool to do that would be silly. If you really need a GUI for that,
install the package - else, 'gksudo gedit /etc/hostname' isn't that
complex either. Do people edit hostnames that often?

If you want to discuss that issue, you may want to talk with developers
on #ubuntu-desktop on IRC, or drop a mail to ubuntu-devel-discuss. But I
can guarantee you there won't be a solution for Lucid (nobody has even
cared since the few releases network-admin was removed). In the long-
term, I'd suggest discussing that with NetworkManager developers, they
may have plans to add more general settings in a tab; I fail to see what
other configuration tool could present this setting.
