Bug description:
initramfs' configure_networking function uses ipconfig to configure the
network.
ipconfig does not support dhcpv6. See:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=627164

bug 1621507: no IPv6 DHCP support in early boot
[Impact]
It is not possible to netboot Ubuntu with a network-based root
filesystem in an ipv6-only environment. Anyone wanting to netboot in
an ipv6-only environment is affected.
[Stable Fix]
These uploads add "ip6=" to the command line syntax to configure ipv6
using the defacto isc-dhcp-client. IPv4 configuration (and "ip="
syntax) remain unchanged.
Valid format for the ip6= command line option is:
ip6=none (or ip6=off or ip6=) -- do not configure ipv6
ip6=DEVICE -- run IPv6 dhclient on device DEVICE.
[Test Case]
See Bug 1229458. Configure radvd, dhcpd, and tftpd for your ipv6-only
netbooting world. Pass the boot process an ipv6 address to talk to,
and see it fail to configure the network.
[Regression Potential]
1) This increases the uncompressed initramfs size by approximately 500KB,
since isc-dhcp-client is added, but klibc is still needed for some other
things, and is therefore present. On systems with a very small /boot
partition, this could result in failure to upgrade the initramfs.
2) In at least some cases, DHCP network configuration shifts from klibc's
ipconfig to isc-dhcp-client's dhclient. This should be of minimal risk, as
isc-dhcp-client is in very very widespread use. In the event of a regression,
network boot would fail, but the prior kernel should still be bootable.
[Tests for verification]
Whoever checks the last one off, please mark verification done.
MAAS test cases:
X / Y
[+]/[+] MAAS on IPv6-only network
[+]/[+] MAAS on IPv4-only network
[+]/[+] MAAS booting IPv4 on dual-stack network (with and without dhcp6)
[+]/[+] MAAS booting IPv6 on dual-stack network (with and without dhcp4)
Non-MAAS test cases:
X / Y
[+]/[+] ip="" and ip6 not present
[+]/[+] ip=:::::eth0:dhcp and ip6 not present
[+]/[+] d-i install with iSCSI remote root should complete normally
[+]/[+] Validate normal boot without remote root
[+]/[+] Booting an iSCSI remote root via IPv4 (using ip=)
[+]/[+] Booting an iSCSI remote root via IPv6 (using ip6=)
[+]/[+] Booting an iSCSI remote root via IPv4 (no ip=, d-i use case)
[+]/[+] Booting an iSCSI remote root with BOOTIF specified (BOOTIF=mac of
booting device)52-54-00-53-5d-24
[+]/[+] Booting an iSCSI remote root on mixed network with no options (IPv4
should be used only)
