This bug was fixed in the package ifupdown - 0.7~alpha5.1ubuntu1
---------------
ifupdown (0.7~alpha5.1ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian experimental. Remaining changes:
- ifupdown.nw: Use 100 as default route metric unless an explicit metric
parameter is set in /etc/network/interface.
- ifupdown.nw: Add 'ipv4ll' method which uses avahi-autoipd to bring up
an interface with an IPv4 link-layer address from 169.254.0.0/16 (aka
'Zeroconf').
- Add iniparser3.0b sources (dictionary.c, dictionary.h, iniparser.c,
iniparser.h), to let ifupdown avoid auto-up/down of interfaces if
network-manager's ifupdown plugin is in managed=true mode.
- Add a new query interface, 'ifquery', that can be used by upstart
hooks to ask for the list of possible interfaces that they might need
to bring up.
- debian/ifupdown.network-interface.upstart: Replace the init scripts
with a per-interface Upstart job.
- debian/ifupdown.networking.upstart: Add a "networking" job that
partially replaces the networking init script from netbase.
- debian/control: Bump build-dependency on debhelper for Upstart-aware
dh_installinit.
- debian/rules: Due to debhelper always adding /etc/init.d symlinks, we
must manually remove /etc/init.d/networking for as long as netbase
still provides it.
- Add if-up and if-down scripts to emit Upstart events when interfaces
come up and go down.
- debian/ifupdown.network-interface-security.upstart: Ensure apport is
started before interfaces are brought up by either ifupdown or
network-manager.
- debian/postinst: If the loopback interface is missing from the config
in /etc/network/interfaces, add it on upgrade.
- debian/ifupdown.preinst: Since files in /etc were not conffiles in
lucid, and /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart and
/etc/init/network-interface.conf changed between lucid final and
maverick, add extra handling to avoid spurious conffile prompts.
* Backport from upstream Mercurial repository:
- Add initial DHCPv6 support (LP: #733547).

* Update URL for Debian Reference (Closes: #610238).
* Fix typos in the man page (Closes: #384143, #415285).
* Add GRE and IPIP tunnels support (Closes: #158089).
* Fix inet/static pointopoint option (Closes: #460276).
* Add support for enabling/disabling IPv6 privacy extension
(Closes: #520576).
* Move network state file to /run/network (Closes: #389996).
* Fix init script dependencies (Closes: #607713, #601705).
* Add MTU setting for v4tunnel (Closes: #408453, #575110).
* Allow multiple interface definitions to ease work with multiple IP per
interface.
* Allow passing PPP options, pass updetach by default (Closes: #196877).
* Add 6to4 tunnels support (Closes: #357929).
* Add CAN interface support (Closes: #584530).
* Drop 0.5.x migration script.
* Drop dependency on net-tools; suggest it instead.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2.
ifupdown (0.7~alpha3) experimental; urgency=low
* Apply patches from Andreas Henriksson (Closes: Bug#456918)
- Fix aadr typo in IPv6 loopback method
- Add dependency on new version of iproute that supports specifying
netmasks as dotted-quads.
- Re-add netmask field for backwards compatibility.
- Flush addresses when taking down a static inet interface.
(Closes: Bug#431059)
- Switch inet/dhcp and inet6/static methods to iproute.
- Update test cases.
- Support for conversion of ifconfig format hwaddress to iproute format
hwaddress.
* Update Build-Depends: to reflect name change from nowebm to noweb.
* Move DH_COMPAT setting from debian/rules to debian/compat file.
* Don't ignore errors from make clean in debian/rules clean target.
* Escape hypens in interfaces.5 manpage.
* Don't create /usr/bin or /usr/sbin directories.
* Bump Standards-Version.
ifupdown (0.7~alpha2) experimental; urgency=low
* Add command line interface options (ifup -o foo=bar eth1). Yay!
* Switch to using iproute instead of ifconfig/route. Thanks to Andrew
Pollock.
* Drop support for kernels prior to 2.1.100 (and that don't have NETLINK
for iproute).
* Drop support for specifying a "netmask" in static inet interfaces.
* Bump DH_COMPAT to 4 (from 1!)

Title:
ifupdown missing DHCPv6 support
Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
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.
