Perhaps the key here is that, if a device switches between protocols
(e.g. DHCP to BOOTP) or between network interfaces (e.g. eth0 to
wlan0) and it is desirable to obtain the host name from the new
interface or protocol, the device should reset its host name back to a
default value (e.g. localhost). Then dhcpcd will update the host name
using from the new source.

Uncertain.
I am now thinking the best method maybe to build a hostname preferences file, kind of like out the resolv.conf works per interface per protocol.
Then dhcpcd can easily change it if needed.
