Package: iproute
Version: 20080725-2
Severity: normal

The src option used in a 'ip -6 route add' command is ignored ; and normal RFC 
3484 default address selection is computed.

Steps to reproduce:
0. An IPv6-aware network has to be available, with an <ipv6 dev> device having 
multiple IPv6 addresses configured (ip -6 addr add .. dev <ipv6 dev>)
1. ip -6 route add <dest network> src <desired v6 address> <ipv6 dev>
2. attempt to reach <dest network> will be done using the default RFC 3484 
address, NOT the <desired v6 address> one

If my understanding is correct, the src address should be used after routing is 
established, with a greater priority than RFC 3484 default address selection.
