OK, I've installed the LiveCD and see what the problem is:
!NetworkManager! breaks the host resolution completely:
linux:~ # cat /etc/HOSTNAME
linux-hq0d.site
linux:~ # dhcpcd-test eth0 | grep HOSTNAME
linux:~ # dhcpcd-test eth0 | grep IPADDR
IPADDR='172.16.4.60'
linux:~ # grep linux /etc/hosts
172.16.4.60 linux.site linux # Added by NetworkManager
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
::1 linux.site linux localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
127.0.0.2 linux-hq0d.site linux-hq0d
When dhcpcd tries to resolve the IP to name (because the poorly configured
dhcp-server does not provide it in its response), it makes use of the normal
system configuration, that is /etc/nsswitch.conf order of "files dns" and
of course it gets the hostname from /etc/hosts and not the one from DNS.
NetworkManager: please fix and don't do such a crap any more.
