Following text in libvirt source explains why libvirt does it:

    /*
     * --interface does not actually work with dnsmasq < 2.47,
     * due to DAD for ipv6 addresses on the interface.
     *
     * virCommandAddArgList(cmd, "--interface", ipdef->bridge, NULL);
     *
     * So listen on all defined IPv[46] addresses
     */

I'm changing the priority to low because there is a workaround.
However, it's possible that the workaround is not always acceptable, in
which case priority here should be raised.
