[Bug 636480] [NEW] Postfix and PowerDNS cannot bind to IPv6-IPs on boot

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

On a IPv4/IPv6-dual-stack system Postfix fails to start on boot when bind to IPv6-IPs via /etc/init.d/master.cf (no error message in syslog!).
PowerDNS logs "pdns[1940]: Fatal error: Unable to bind to UDP ipv6 socket". 
Both services can be started manually without problems.
Obviously the IPv6-stack isn't configured correctly when Postfix/PowerDNS start at boot time.
