Maemo uses udhcpc instead, but it does send the hostname by default - here's
what the DISCOVER request looks like with tshark -V:
Bootstrap Protocol
[...]
Option: (t=53,l=1) DHCP Message Type = DHCP Discover
Option: (53) DHCP Message Type
Length: 1
Value: 01
Option: (t=61,l=7) Client identifier
Option: (61) Client identifier

Value: 01001D6EXXXXXX
Hardware type: Ethernet
Client MAC address: NokiaDan_XX:XX:XX (00:1d:6e:XX:XX:XX)
Option: (t=12,l=15) Host Name = "Nokia-N810-43-7"
Option: (12) Host Name

This is done by /usr/lib/icd2/libicd_network_ipv4.so (passed as a -H
argument to udhcpc) which you can't change, but if you want to send a
different one you can always set the real hostname to that via
/etc/hostname and reboot.
