Well that's dumb. :) I am not sure how would would make that work in the
debian package, short of compiling it twice, which also seems dumb, only
less so.
Full IPv6 support was a goal in *squeeze*, so i would feel kind of bad
introducing a package without it at this point. Also, from what I
remember, it's pretty easy to implement IPv6 support with backwards IPv4
compatibility - so it seems odd that the option disables ipv4. Maybe we
can talk with upstream?
There's a good example on how to setup an IPv6 daemon here:
