Adjust d/changelog entry and comment in sbin/update-hostname-from-ip. 

Keep NetBIOS compliant hostnames and explain why this is still useful after
the related bugs (samba-common-bin, caja-share) have been fixed.

  * Generate netbios compliant hostname (workaround for Samba bug #900908).

    The MATE desktop pulls in 'samba-common-bin' via 'caja-share' causing

    installations (except main-server) with 'desktop=mate' to break. Instead

    of e.g. 'auto-mac-11-22-33-44-55-66', now 'am-112233445566' is generated.

    (Closes: #900629).

  * Generate NetBIOS compliant hostname; this allows one to keep the hostname

    in case the MATE desktop is configured to use file sharing via Samba.

    Same applies if a roaming workstation is configured to connect to an

    active directory DC (via tools/setup-ad-client).

    Instead of e.g. 'auto-mac-11-22-33-44-55-66', now 'am-112233445566' is

    generated. (Closes: #900629).
