The current maintainer of ipv6pref, Stefan Tomanek <stefan.tomanek+debian@wertarbyte.de>,
is apparently not active anymore.  Therefore, I orphan this package now.

Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it.

If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

I'd like to adopt this package. I'm new to Debian packaging (currently
working toward NM), so this will be my first upload -- happy to take
guidance from debian-mentors along the way.

I've prepared an updated package, ipv6pref 1.0.3-4, and uploaded it to
mentors.debian.net for review:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/ipv6pref/

This revision fixes the four issues flagged by mentors.debian.net's QA
panel on the previous upload (1.0.3-3):

 * debian/watch: the inherited "Version: 5" git-mode syntax was not a
   valid uscan/lintian directive (missing-debian-watch-file-standard);
   replaced with a working version=4 watch against upstream's actual
   release/<version> GitHub tags.
 * debian/control: restored "Priority: optional" in the source
   paragraph (recommended-field).
 * debian/copyright: renamed the non-standard "Maintainer-Contact"
   field to the DEP-5-standard "Upstream-Contact".
 * debian/copyright: added the 2026 packaging copyright line to the
   Files: debian/* block alongside the existing 2016 entry.

Lintian is clean on both the binary and source packages (modulo the
expected package-uses-experimental-debhelper-compat-version tag).

Still looking for a sponsor to review and upload. Thanks!
