DHCP client leaks hostname "amnesia"

1. Boot Tails 1.1.
2. Install Wireshark.
3. Monitor the network until a periodic
DHCP refresh is done.
4. Click on the “DHCP Request” packet
going out to the local router/gateway/dhcp-server.

In the data in the packet one can see:

Bootstrap Protocol
Message type: Boot Request (1)
[…]
Option: (12) Host Name
Length: 7
Host Name: amnesia
[…]

In earlier Tails versions the hostname was not leaked, so this is a regression.
