Your definition of *bad* is not as big a deal to me.  I understood
what you meant and I do appreciate your help!  :-)

BTW - in my /etc/hosts file I have 

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.2.2     debian.insecurity.org   debian

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Therefore hostname -f (according to the man page) *should* return
debian.insecurity.org on the localhost.   I don't know, I think LDAPS
*should* work; maybe I'm just crazy.

However, I do repeatedly see these errors on slapd start-up (even with -4 set)

debian:/etc# cat /var/log/debug |grep AF_INET6 
Nov 26 05:32:46 debian slapd[1293]: slap_open_listener: socket()
failed for AF_INET6 errno=47 (Address family not supported by
protocol)
    ... edited output ...
