But still libio-socket-inet6-perl won't be needed by majority of Debian
spamassassin users. It's just a question if it should be in suggests, or
recommends; I left that decision to spamassassin's maintainer.

Great.

Hmm... it's another bug, this time in upstream code. And it doesn't look
so trivial to fix. The code says:
#v+
set_allowed_ip('127.0.0.1'); #, '::1'); M::SA::NetSet needs fixing for IPv6
#v-
so upstream is aware of this issue (but it doesn't mean they are aware
that someone needed it ;-)
I may look at this, but I don't promise anything, especially that I'll
have time and mood ;-)
