Thanks to author of script! If someone will decide to override hostname, this is example of the function that should be placed on line 2 or 4:

function system_set_hostname {
  # $1 - The hostname to define
  HOSTNAME="$1"

  if [ ! -n "$HOSTNAME" ]; then
    echo "Hostname undefined"
    return 1;
  fi

  echo "$HOSTNAME" > /etc/hostname
  hostname -F /etc/hostname
}

It is a typo because I made this script for Linode cloud installation scripts and forgot to remove this line. So, it can be skipped as well.
