user_hostname_manually_added_requiring_further_investigation

Description

Packages which intentionally capture the username or hostname into a custom format,
but aren't obviously using any tool or system which has this as a core issue.
Interesting because they could be fixed by fixing these things at build time.

We have a patch pending to GCC to fix this issue centrally:
.
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-11/msg00182.html
.
Though the patch is currently unlikely to be merged. If/when this
is accepted, this issue should be fixed for all packages and you
should not need to fix it specifically in your package.
.
There is also a work-in-progress patch to dpkg that could address this issue:
.
https://bugs.debian.org/985553
