Package: netcfg v.1.55, squeeze (testing)  (debian-installer)
System: Debian Sid, amd64

I installed Debian using a testing debian-installer,
debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso.
After upgrading Iceweasel to v. 3.6.8 (experimental) the browser was very
sluggish and had trouble handling localhost.

The file /etc/hosts contains the following lines:
---
127.0.0.1    localhost
127.0.1.1    debian.domain    debian

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
---

Some internet search shows the problem is caused by 'localhost' in line
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
which should be:
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
Removing 'localhost' resolves these issues.

A similar error has also happened in Ubuntu using the Debian Installer
according to:
