I've no strong opinion about the default value for net.ipv6.bindv6only.
However, I think that any application that breaks if the default value
is 0 or 1 is broken and a bug must be filled..

...and squeeze should be released with the default value that minimizes
the number of broken behavior (not the number of bugs because whatever
the default value is, if the application depends on a particular default
value, the bug exists)
Some people around me have been hit by this java bug. They do not read
d-d have they would have never found what was broken if they did not
talk with me. This bug is really difficult to diagnose for a simple user.
