Title:
  please add a cmdline option to chose between ipv4, ipv6, or dual-stack
  network boot

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Right now, I can boot with "ip=::::hostname:BOOTIF" in the kernel
  commandline, and (after bug 1621507), I get whatever it came up with
  for ipv4 and ipv6.  If for nothing more than testing on a dual-stack
  environment, it would be nice to be able to force that to try both
  (current behavior, and an excellent default), only try IPv4, or only
  IPv6.

  NOT something that needs to be fixed before yakkety, but would be nice
  to eventually get back to xenial.
