I don't know what the canonical (not Canonical!) way of doing this is
because the last time that I checked even the Debian developers were
arguing over this. It's something of a religious debate.

You can put either. The only functional difference that I know of is
that the output of "hostname" will differ ("hostname -s" and hostname
-f" will be the same).

Looks like my first impression is confirmed. Thanks to you and to Chris G for the detailed answers!
