I think we have a misunderstanding here.

If IPv6 is broken in Ubuntu, then we'd like to know about it, and I'm
sure Ubuntu developers will jump on it to fix it. But that's not what
your bug report says. You referred to rebuilding wget and a self-test
failure that sounds spurious, except that it collides somehow with your
internal policy. And I have been using IPv6 on Ubuntu daily, including
with wget, and I've never seen an issue.

Please could you elaborate and correct my misunderstanding? What's the
actual problem here?
