hostname is being set, and static or transient are being set
as well, the specified hostname will be simplified in regards
to the character set used before the latter are updated. This
is done by replacing spaces with <literal>-</literal> and
removing special characters. This ensures that the pretty and
the static hostname are always closely related while still
following the validity rules of the specific name. This
simplification of the hostname string is not done if only the
transient and/or static host names are set, and the pretty
host name is left untouched.</para>
