Well, the server works and I'm not sure if the following is related to IPv6 missing, but I do get a "Failed" message in the boot log, i.e. The first and often the second time /etc/init.d/postgresql start tells me that postgres didn't start, even though the server is up and running regardless of the "output" of the init-script. But I filed a bugreport for that ill behaviour already, as I said I'm not sure it's due to ipv6 being disabled in my kernel... So maybe this should be only a wishlist bug?
