Quoting off-list discussion here, where it belongs and so we don't
forget about it ;)

With regard to fixing https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438
after all those years.

Fabian G.:
we could offer something like a simple template system that allows
substitution of certain variables (like name, or source node
hostname/clustername, ..). or just a boolean switch for setting VM/CT
$HOSTNAME from $CLUSTER/$NODENAME (or an enum, with
[job-comment,hostname,long,none] where long is that, and hostname is
just the guest hostname, and job-comment is the comment of the vzdump
job if one is set)

Me:
The template variant would be the most flexible one and would avoid the
need for a second vzdump option besides --notes. Ideally, support for it
would be there from the beginning though, as otherwise it will stop
working for a user wanting to literally set $HOSTNAME when we add it ;)
The downside is that it doesn't match the volume-level --notes option,
but I don't think that should be a big deal.

Fabian G.:
well it could just be called notes-template for vzdump to disambiguate?
