Actually, it seems IPv6 support has been builtin in Debian kernels since
June last year. Shows how much I use it. :-)

Apparently, the proper way to disable IPv6 is to append ipv6.disable=1
to your kernel line in grub. If you're using grub legacy, go
to /boot/grub/menu.lst and add "ipv6.disable=1" to the line saying:

# defoptions=

(Leave it commented, and if it already has something, just add a space
at the end, then the ipv6.disable=1 bit).

If you're using grub2, go to /etc/default/grub and add it to the

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="root=/dev/somethin" line, add a space then
ipv6.disable=1.
