IMHO is not completly true:

fabbione@gundam:~$ host -t NS ip6.arpa
ip6.arpa            	NS	ARROWROOT.ARIN.NET
ip6.arpa            	NS	NS.EU.NET
ip6.arpa            	NS	NS.RIPE.NET
ip6.arpa            	NS	NS.APNIC.NET
ip6.arpa            	NS	BUCHU.ARIN.NET
ip6.arpa            	NS	SVC00.APNIC.NET

and we are supporting both.

I agree 100% but I was unsure how to write the patch for various reasons.
The first one is that Im not skilled enough (but try does not cost 
anything) and second one I was worried about the way in which they 
changed code in the upstream. They had simply switched from ip6.int
to ip6.arpa without modifing other portion of the code. I got the idea 
that the ip6.arpa was not working for other reasons (probably the code 
to pool the dns needs to be reviewed).
I did a simple traceroute6 and I noticed that my dns'es were not polled 
by anyone in that moment.

This is already an ongoing process. It works perfectly for me.
