Bug#701139: netcfg: IPv6 netmask is bogus when IP address entered in CIDR format

[Samuel Thibault <sthibault@debian.org>]

Package: netcfg
Version: 1.106
Severity: normal

Hello,

While trying manual IPv6 configuration, I got a bogus IPv6 netmask:

- boot in expert mode, answer questions by default until:
- request not to do any autoconf, but enter network configuration
  manually
- enter fc00::1/64 as manual IP address
- enter fc00::2 as gateway
- enter fc00::3 as DNS

The network configuration summary then shows netmask as being
255.255.255.255, i.e. an IPv4 netmask.  It thus seems the IPv4
code still gets triggered, rather than producing the IPv6
ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:: netmask.
