It affects services listening on localhost. Not services connected to the internetwork. I disagree that "there is plenty of time to look at any fallback". AIUI if one changes the listening host it will correctly listen on IPv4 and IPv6 by default (if applicable). If you are against substandard IPv6 support, you can test the upcoming d-i daily. Possibly not the one of tonight but the next one. That should enable IPv6 installation support for the first time. Kind regards Philipp Kern
