I found a bug with this patch.  If you are building with the deb packaging then 
the conffiles is set to /etc/hostname, but the file may not always be created... 
this causes a failure condition when generating .deb packages.

i.e.:

-CONFFILES_${PN} = "${sysconfdir}/fstab ${sysconfdir}/hostname"
+CONFFILES_${PN} = "${sysconfdir}/fstab ${@['', 
'${sysconfdir}/hostname'][(d.getVar('hostname', True) != '')]}"
