Public bug reported:

I just installed miredo and begun to use ipv6. I've noticed that netstat
is incapable to display correctly the sockets when it is instructed to
display the ipv6 address instead of the name, thus making it useless.

the command issued is
  netstat -n --tcp
the result is something similar to:

Active Internet connections (senza server)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State      
tcp6       0     48 2001:xxxx:yyyy:324:22222 2001:0:zzzz:64c:3:55249 ESTABLISHED
tcp6       0      0 2001:xxxx:yyyy:324::2:80 2001:0:zzzz:64c:3:51862 TIME_WAIT  


(please note that xxxx  yyyy zzzz masks real part of the ipv6 address
because of privacy)

the result shown by netstat is incomplete, because the ipv6 addresses are 
truncated in half thus making the netstat command completely useless (I cannot 
understand who's connecting or whom I'm connecting with).
enlarging the terminal doesn't help.
the question:

is it a bug? is there something I can do?
thanks a lot
