Title:
  ifupdown missing DHCPv6 support

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “ifupdown” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ifupdown

  /etc/network/interfaces has no support for the DHCPv6 protocol.  Natty
  already has ISC DHCP 4.1, which supports DHCPv6, so adding a dhcp
  method (or maybe dhcp6 method?) to inet6 should be pretty straight-
  forward.
