From what I understood after talking with them :
ipv6 is made as a boolean because keeping it as a module is too
complex for now.

Someone is working on this, but I don't know when it will be back
to its module form.

I guess enabling ipv6 as a non-module is not an option for debian
kernel ?

Thanks for your help :)
