well, since you seem to have set DHCP option 12 (hostname) to the IP
address:

what's set on the DHCP server? does the DHCP server set a name for your IP?
If not, maybe the DHCP server uses the IP address as hostname which creates
your problem.

looks like DHCP script or network-manager on debian also setss hostname to
what's received from DHCP server. It can be turned off, check in raspbian
too (but where should it get its hostname from then?)
