[pkg-dhcp-devel] Adapting isc-dhcp-server to IPv6

Hi.

I'm looking into the possibilities to add IPv6 support to this
package. As ISC currently doesn't support running as a IPv4 and a IPV6
server simultaneously, two instances (using different options) of the
daemon must be started. As I see it, there are (at least) two
different main paths to achieve that:

1) Tailor /etc/init.d/isc-server to be able to start both daemons. The
instructions which to start + other options are sourced from
/etc/default/isc-dhcpd-server

2) Add a separate init-script and default config for IPv6 (isc-dhcpv6-server??).
2.1) Both modes are installed by the isc-dhcp-server package
2.2) Add the IPv6 scripts/config in a separate package, which depends
on isc-dhcp-server for the binaries etc.

What do you think? Is this viable options? Which one is prefered? Any
other (better) option?
