While I agree in general, it is still a PITA that Debian fails miserably in these cases. It does cause a bad impression. I keep having problems with misbehaving ipv6 myself, and it seems unlikely that stuff will just start supporting ipv6 correctly in the near future. While at debconf I was debugging why epiphany-webkit (libsoup, really) was failing to get to Rhonda's blog, and it seems like DNS was resolving the name to the ipv6 address as well as the ipv4. It seems like firefox handles this by falling back, but soup doesn't. Can we do better?
