No reply from the author so far. I was considering to change the tables.mysql file as you suggest but I fear that by doing so I could be putting an "IPv6 ready" stick to this package when in fact I have no idea about how everything else would work with IPv6 (for example, what would happen with LIGHTGREY, which uses a /24 mask?). Will try to contact the author again. I agree that this bug is "important", so I'm sorry not to have it fixed in wheezy.
