The ideal way is that the upstream version (original version in other
words) would support ipv6.
The other problem is that we don't use patch(es) on network; we don't
have "ports" feature which fetches the original source(s) and patch(es)
from different sites (ex. foo.orig.tar.gz exists in debian.org and
foo-v6.diff.gz exists in v6.linux.or.jp). If we had shuch feature,
the package maintainer would be free from maintaining ipv6 codes.
