This will not work. When sysctl runs (/etc/rcS.d/S30procps) the ipv6
kernelmodule is not loaded yet and 'net.ipv6.conf.all.autoconf' doesn't exist.
My solution is:

* load ipv6 manually (add to /etc/modules)
* add in the interface stanza

iface eth0 inet static
   pre-up  sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.autoconf=0 > /dev/null || true
