What is required for "out of the box" IPv6 support in Debian? When upgrading netbase it asked me if I wanted to include IPv6 addresses in my /etc/hosts. Why wouldn't I want to include IPv6? Do packages break (in an RC bug way) with IPv6 addresses in /etc/hosts? I'm guessing that there's just too many packages would break in non-RC bug ways, but I haven't tried any.
When does it become time to do mass bug reports on packages that break with IPv6? The code used for http://debdev.fabbione.net/cgi-bin/getstats seems to be something that would be a good thing to add to lintian. Should I file a wishlist bug against lintian (& linda?) requesting it to generate an IPv6 warnings? fwiw: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=ipv6 shows only one IPv6 bug. http://debdev.fabbione.net/cgi-bin/getstats shows there are 122 known IPv6 packages in sid/main, and 830 packages are guessed to have IPv6 support.
