I do not see how this can be done while building the image or the
packages. Both the hostname and the ip address can be configured at
runtime. As this can happen dynamically e.g. by DHCP and can change
at every boot or even at runtime, there is no generic way (e.g. by
firstboot mechanisms) to add such entries.
