[Bug 1621507] Re: initramfs-tools configure_networking() fails to dhcp ipv6 addresses

[Scott Moser]

** Description changed:

  initramfs' configure_networking function uses ipconfig to configure the
  network.
  
  ipconfig does not support dhcpv6.  See: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=627164
  
  Anyone wanting to netboot in an ipv6-only environment is affected.
