Hi again, This bug may be a good candidate for porter NMU (delayed queue?) : https://bugs.debian.org/738942 We need that applied for jessie so that we can turn off automatic IPv6 autoconf, getting back to normal upstream FreeBSD behaviour (somewhat addressing long-standing security bugs #684072 and #690986). The wheezy installer already wrote the appropriate /etc/network/interfaces stanza to turn it on where needed, so we just need to fix this bug in ifupdown. OpenBSD made a similar change recently - an interface should not get an IPv6 address, just because it was brought up - quite often it is an unexpected security risk.
