 Yes, we should. I have two reservations though: one is whether having
 it on even when it's not in PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS is going to cause
 confusion; the other is that presumably in at least some of the
 packages where it's an option and disabled by default, it's disabled
 because it's broken or problematic in some way. Will it work for those
 cases (when we find them) to have PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS include
 "-inet6"?
