Dear Maintainer,
the Debian 9 installer suggests the user "make something up" for the domain
name. This is horrid practice as whatever is made up may actually clash with an
existing DNS TLD.
If the user really doesn't know what to enter, because they're configuring a
workstation, say, and don't care about DNS, we should consider not forcing a
DNS domain on them or using one of example.{org|net|com}.
