That is a good argument.  Someone noted it on -stable as well as something 
they use.  Also, I wonder if ipv6_network_interfaces should actually default 
to whatever the value of 'network_interfaces' is so that if someone does use 
a customized 'network_interfaces' line it affects IPv6 configuration as well.  
(Maybe have it default to an empty value and have an empty value get replaced 
with 'network_interfaces'?).
