hostname -s behaves different in the debian version (no lookup) and in the master branch. If we change -s to return only the first name segment of gethostname() then there will be a problem to decompose -f in -s and -d (maybe allow -fs for old sematic?).

The man page is actually supporting the debian interpretation.
