Using bootstrap.py with hosts with shortname as hostname causes creating duplicate hosts

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

When registering hosts with bootstrap.py script, while preferring to use shortname (for any reason) as hostname, system gets registered at Satellite twice - once with short hostname, once with long hostname.

This happens even when every setting on the host is set to shortname.
