Great! Thanks for checking this.

Given the Debian specific IPv6 behaviour lived less than 9 months old
in testing/sid, and was never released as part of a stable release,
I'm in favour of releasing Wheezy with a package that follows upstream
defaults, and documenting what these defaults are in NEWS for
testing/sid and backports users.
However, if we think ipv == "*" would be a better default, now is the
right time to discuss it upstream, because the discussion *is*
happening there: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=77569
