It must have gone down the drain when I removed another chunk of code that
relied on the hostname without any need.

Probably for exactly this purpose, to avoid breaking the build.

I don't recall seeing that code, which is odd... I wouldn't have removed the
hostname stuff if I had noticed that it was used elsewhere.

Err, cause those messages break the build.

 IIRC, it was set in the script.  I don't recall the particular reason
 why those messages weren't printed when ran on klecker, though.

Because $host is not initialized.  I wonder where it should come from.

I had a quick look at wml_run.log, and there were a few complaints about
very badly formatted wnpp bug titles. I've fixed those, so maybe that
will improve matters.

Looking at the code, wnpp.pl is supposed to avoid printing those
messages to stderr when the host is klecker.debian.org, but this fails
for some reason. Assuming my fix solves it, somebody needs to look into
that to stop it happening in future.
