Just out of curiosity, were there any dpkg prompts during the apt upgrade?

This sounds related to https://github.com/freedombox/Plinth/issues/262.
When Plinth is restarted, the config module will add the current
domainname to the Name Services page. But if the domain name is blank in
Configuration (due to issue 262), then it won't be added.

A quick workaround for this issue is to change the hostname to anything
other than the default value ("freedombox"). Then set the domain name
again on the Configuration page.
