I have made a task item instead of this, since lacking IPv6 support is not a bug per see, it is a missing feature.

Eeeh not really.  I should have made it more clear (the bug title isn't enough).  The original debian bug was cloned into

- http://bugs.debian.org/273962: inetutils FTBFS, which is a debian bug and was fixed.
- http://bugs.debian.org/274156: pfinet lacks ipv6 support, which is really a Hurd wishlist item, and was the reason why I forwarded the bug to Savannah.

So this bug is still open: pfinet should support ipv6 on the long run.

This is a Debian bug, they should do proper checks before copying ping6 or any other IPV6 program.

inetutils-ping's install-target in debian/rules wants to cp a ping6
binary which does not get built on hurd-i386, as it has no IPV6 support:

IPV6 is a kernel-agnostic standard and there are many packages that depend
on it.  You really need to provide it for any complete Debian GNU port.  I
suggest you upload a hacked inetutils package to gnuab.  Implementing an ipv6
interface with dummy (ENOSYS) stubs is also a good workaround IMHO.

No, the package built before the introduction of IPv6 support, so it's
a regression in inetutils. I'm uploading a fixed inetutils to Debian.
IPv6 support on the Hurd is a wishlist.
