Package: hostname Version: 2.07 Severity: normal % hostname --version | od hostname 2.05 0000000
I.e., with --version (or -V), output is on stderr instead of stdout. The man page says: -V, --version Print version information on standard output and exit successfully. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This fouls up, among other things, my startx script, which greps the output of hostname --version for the GNU string.
