Okay, I believe these items would be helpful to have on the page:
1) Instructions on how to setup IPv6 on a Debian system, preferrably using
the new ifup/ifdown network configuration scheme. The setup information
on Peter Bieringers page is less than straightforward to apply to
Debian systems.
2) Provide a link to the freenet6 page. Maybe also a direct link to the
6bone hookup page (http://www.6bone.net/6bone_hookup.html).
3) Publish a TODO-list for the debian-ipv6 project, so it is easier to see
what is going on. Assuming there are other things to do than just
converting packages, but I believe that's the case.
4) I guess the package list needs to be updated; only two packages are
listed under the "work needed" section.
I feel a bit uncomfortable suggesting all this work without having more
time to spend on actual contributions myself; please don't take my
suggestions as criticism of the current page.

Would it be at all possible to get a package section of the same kind as
non-US has? The infrastructure and routines for that seems to be tried and
working.
