I think that is or was a basic default for desktops without a network, 
correct me if I'm wrong... I've been using Debian for so long I can't 
remember where I got this from!

Yes, with a few more commented lines:

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
#::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
#fe00::0 ip6-localnet
#ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
#ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
#ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
#ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Thanks for your attention!
