That is ALMOST correct. Unfortunately, its correctness depends upon the
sysctl value net.ipv6.bindv6only. In addition, the default for this
value was recently changed to "1" by the netbase package (see bug
#560238).
So, on a current Sid system, the above line listens ONLY for IPv6
connections, unless the adminstrator changed the default sysctl value.
In order to work with both sysctl values, this does the trick:
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on;
