		# Engine's out-of-the-box domain names are long but predictable based on project name, we
		# install this hook to set the hostname to the short hostname but add a suitable /etc/hosts
		# entry.

		# Since not all operating systems which Google supports on Compute Engine work with the
		# /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d directory, Google's internally-built packaging uses the
		# consistent install path of /usr/share/google/set-hostname, and OS-specific build steps are
		# used to activate the DHCP hook. In any future Debian-maintained distro-specific packaging,
		# the updated deb could handle installing the below symlink or the script itself into
		# /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d.
