Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.8+nmu1
Severity: normal

The only options for IPv6 configurations are loopback, static, manual and
v4tunnel. However, one may want to use an interface only for IPv6 with
autoconf. This is very simple, as you just have to put the interface up.
Therefore, the workaround looks like this:

interface eth0 inet6 manual
        post-up ifconfig eth0 up
        post-down ifconfig eth0 down

Please implement an option like 'interface eth0 inet6 autoconf'.
