The problem with epmd is that it supports either IPv4 or IPv6 but not
both simultaneously. And, I guess as for now IPv4 is still preferable.

But with the current erlang-base you can enable the epmd systemd
service (see /usr/share/doc/erlang-base/README.Debian.gz) which will
listen for both IPv4 and IPv6. Though I haven't it tested in IPv6
environment and can't say if it'll work properly. So, any input on
this will be appreciated.

Cheers!
