Detect debian based systems to modify hostname configuration correctly #6

The mac id muxing was not required on the version of Ubuntu I tested against (11.10). It seemed to take the value poked down from virt-install.

So I guess in Debian you do not need to have MAC address when you have only one interface right? No NetworkManager I guess :-) Nice.

Thanks for the patch, merging.

Yea, I'm not sure if there is some virt-install magic happening or not w/r/t the MAC address. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man5/iftab.5.html is where I suspect we'd want to change it to persist over time but it appears that at least in my install there is nothing actually in there, which makes it create from scratch on boot. I believe that is why the virt-install value is take w/o the need to update anything. Happy days!
