The hostid info is present in git.
Perhaps it was removed by a local patch or something.
I'm closing this bug for the moment.

The manpage for hostid explicitely references coreutils.info but there the
part about hostid seems to have been removed somewhen in the past. As there
is no mentioning of a removal in ChangeLog I created the attached patch that
readds the documentation for hostid and hostname that I took from the
5.93 coreutils.texi .
