Public bug reported:
RFC 6761 6.3 requires that "localhost" (and variations) resolve to
127.0.0.1 or ::1 for IPv4 and IPv6, respectively.
In instances that are installed with D-I (such as the server ISO), I
see:
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
However, in our cloud-images (or derivatives such as LXD), OR in
Ubiquity installations, I see:
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
My examples are from Xenial.
The latter examples, should be fixed up to include localhost for IPv6
per RFC guidance.
Opening bug here per IRC conversation with Steve Langasek.
