[Bug 1089342] Re: Postfix uses temporary IPv6 address for outbound connections

What we ship now is the upstream default and that is the correct thing
to do by default.  I think it's a fair point to discuss if, given the
increasing availability of IPv6, there should be a debconf question
about this.  I think it would make sense to add it as a low priority
(not normally asked) question so the answer can be pre-seeded.

I think the documentation (as usual for postfix) is excellent.  When I
ran into this problem myself, I was able to solve it using the available
documentation.  Postfix documentation is not, however, aimed at new
postfix users.  It would probably make sense to add a discussion about
this to the Ubuntu Server Guide.
