... which silently doesn't happen if hostname --fqdn does not return a fully qualified name (#476249). I am inclined to solve this issue by having update-exim4.conf print a warning if hostname --fqdn does only return a single-component name and leave the rest to the local admin. This being said, I think this thread is moot since my entire assumption about the IPv6 business was wrong in the first place, there does seem nothing to be fixed.
