For what it is worth, I just checked my /etc/hosts file and found out that the first line was

127.0.0.1 localhost

while the second line was

127.0.1.1 <hostname>

Perhaps the first line was a leftover from manually editing the file in some previous setup. I have now commented it out and will post here if there are any problems arising from this. I do not know the significance of that first line and believe that localhost recognition now happens via /etc/network/interfaces.
