Specifying the hostname in the /etc/hosts file using the default loopback address (127.0.0.1) is not recommended and can lead to some issues. E.g. ansible doesn't like this.
I think it's better to follow the Debian Reference guide when setting the hostname in the /etc/hosts file.

I've also added a domain suffix (.local) to give the host a fully qualified domain name.
