Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: netbase

The automatic dist-upgrade tester revealed a diff in /etc/hosts between
a gutsy->hardy upgrade (+++) and a clean hardy install (---):

+ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix

It's probably intended that the IPv6 addresses are present in a clean
installation as well.
