SRU justification

The Hardy and Intrepid releases of unattended-upgrades do not show the
hostname in the subject header of the emailed upgrade logs. This can be
confusing when managing more than a handful of machines as it requires
looking at each incoming emails header to determine the source machine
that sent the report. This issue is resolved in Jaunty and above by the
simple addition of the hostname in the subject header. The debdiffs
attached to this bug report backport this support to Hardy and Intrepid.

TEST CASE:
1. Install and configure updated unattended-upgrades package to send upgrade 
email notifications.
2. Check if the hostname is present in the subject line of the sent emails.

Regression potential is low, the patch is trivial and has already seen
widespread use in Jaunty and above.
