I don't think this proposal is a good idea at all. First, unbound
may not be running on 127.0.0.1/::1, and second, what you propose is
a trivial change that the admin can make in /etc/network/interfaces.
I don't think the package should do that, since it's
a policy decision.

I suggest instead to add a note to the README that unbound can be
top-inserted as a resolver by adding

  iface lo inet loopback
    …
    dns-nameservers ::1

to the lo stanza in /etc/network/interfaces and bringing down/up lo.
Alternatively, after adding it, you can

  echo nameserver ::1 > /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/lo.inet
  resolvconf -u

to avoid having to bring the iface down.

Use 127.0.0.1 if you don't have working IPv6.
