commit a627c6bec9be4ce0345ca7178563ffb99d09c750
Author: Pascal Hambourg <pascal@plouf.fr.eu.org>
Date:   Sun Nov 30 17:49:47 2025 +0100

    Use separate debconf questions for IPv4 and IPv6 netmask and gateway
    
    netcfg/get_netmask and netcfg/get_gateway descriptions mention only IPv4 form.
    Invalid netmask and gateway error messages should be different for IPv4 and IPv6.
    
    So add new dialogs for IPv4 and IPv6 and use them for netmask and gateway
    depending on the expected address family.
