Hi Jens,
Thank you for reporting! I added the server autoinstaller project
(subiquity) to this bug, since it drives cloud-init configuration during
installs.
> Now to the real issue: Giving all the data includes hostname, user /
pass, ssh key. They will be set up correctly. However, when the module
boots up the first time with the new image and cloud-init does its
thing, it announces itself as hostname "ubuntu" to the DHCP server.
Okay, why not, but why?
Cloud-init is typically used to get configuration data during early boot
(often from a remote http server), which requires bringing up an
ephemeral network connection before configuration data is known. In
early boot stage, dhcp without knowing the configured hostname is a
common way to accomplish this.
Can you please explain why a dhcp request with a temporary hostname is a
bug?

Bug description:
Hi there, noticed a thing when setting up a Raspberry Pi 4 (CM4) with
an ubuntu 22.04.1 server image, but I suspect it might affect more.
I used this how-to:
https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-raspberry-
pi#1-overview
and it worked the second time. :) Sort of.
The module is a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 Rev 1.1, CM4002016, no
WLAN, 2GB RAM, 16GB eMMC drive. Omitting the WLAN settings when
writing the image with the Pi Imager helped, otherwise the module
won't be reachable by network, even if there is a cable on eth0 or via
USB eth adapter. That as an aside.
Now to the real issue: Giving all the data includes hostname, user /
pass, ssh key. They will be set up correctly. However, when the module
boots up the first time with the new image and cloud-init does its
thing, it announces itself as hostname "ubuntu" to the DHCP server.
Okay, why not, but why? Later on (20 minutes later, after completing
sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, and restarting of
affected services) it correctly announces and registers with the
desired hostname.

This is a bit odd, and given that the right hostname was available, I
would suspect some order of execution issue.
