It seems the hostname tool for YaST needs to have some expanded
functionality.

That's how I normally do it.
One learns to use hostnames that don't otherwise appear in /etc/.
Some of the files don't need to be changed. You have to look at the files
and figure it out for yourself.
Packages need a way to register that changing the hostname should adjust
their files. Even then some things such as smtp daemons and web daemons
shouldn't necessarily change...
