When I have an previously generated hostname, let's call it "fooschnickens1234.onion" for the purpose of this message, my approach on a system like Gentoo was to manually place the hostname and private-key into the /var/lib/tor/hidden-services/$name-i-gave-in-torrc folder and change the permissions afterwards. Now this service is unclear about wether it would overwrite the files I have when the new system generation is done building (reconfigure). It would be good to know wether the files can be copied into place in advance or if one has to wait to replace it afterwards.
