I think that's a problem of systemd: when a .socket file contains a
ListenStream stanza pointing at IPv6 addresses _and_ ipv6 is globally
disabled, systemd should let the .socket start (eventually with a
warning), not choke on it completely.

Hereby reassigning to see what the systemd maintainers say.
