** Description changed: Binary package hint: ubiquity - In Ubiquity (here KDe version, but should be the same in GNOME) the name that is set automatically here is "christian-System-Product-Name", so it seems to be %username%-%hostname%. + In Ubiquity (here KDE version, but should be the same in GNOME) the name that is set automatically here is "christian-System-Product-Name", so it seems to be %username%-%hostname%. But this hostname or system-product name is not retrieved correctly. There should be a check if it is retrieved correctly, and if not, give it a default name, but not "System-Product-Name", maybe "computer" or "laptop", depending on system, if that's possible. Most computer-untrained persons (like Bobs mum or Alice's Grandfather :-) ) leave this text like it is, and "Alfred-System-Product-Name" is a VERY unpretty name for a computer ;-).
