Someone noted it on -stable as well as something they use. Also, I wonder if ipv6_network_interfaces should actually default to whatever the value of 'network_interfaces' is so that if someone does use a customized 'network_interfaces' line it affects IPv6 configuration as well. (Maybe have it default to an empty value and have an empty value get replaced with 'network_interfaces'?). -- John Baldwin
