Title:
  resolve_prefer_ipv6 should be ON in default configuration

Status in “irssi” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “irssi” package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Virtually any application supporting IPv6 prefers IPv6 addresses for
  hosts that have both IPv6 and IPv4 records. It is accepted standard
  behavior, and I was very surprised that with irssi, it needs to be
  enabled in the config. What confused me most, though, is that the
  config flag is off by default. I have filed an upstream bug for that,
  but I'm guessing it might take a long time to get fixed, so I believe
  that Ubuntu, in its goal to provide complete IPv6 support, should go
  ahead and ship irssi with a configuration that sets
  resolve_prefer_ipv6 to ON by default.
