I don't think there is anything else to add to show that the
net.ipv6.bindv6only=1 is wrong since it makes debian non compliant.
I also remind that it is possible to fill bugreports to upstream authors
of uncompliant software.
Filling bugreports to authors of compliant software is not a good practice.
Have a nice day

3493 is informational, so whatever it says it is not normative.
Before you start quoting RFCs to people you should learn how they work
and hopefully have followed the relevant working groups for a few years.
