NTS and ipv6

I just ran a first pass at setting up NTS on a device (RPI 3b+, raspbian 
10/buster).

The server failed to come up on restart of service, as follows:

2019-07-25T12:03:53 ntpd[21436]: NTSs: Private Key OK
2019-07-25T12:03:53 ntpd[21436]: NTSs: OpenSSL security level is 2
2019-07-25T12:03:53 ntpd[21436]: NTSs: listen4 worked
2019-07-25T12:03:53 ntpd[21436]: NTSs: Can't create socket6:
2019-07-25T12:03:53 ntpd[21436]: NTSc: Using system default root 
certificates.
2019-07-25T12:03:53 ntpd[21436]: NTS: troubles during init. Bailing.

I don't use ipv6. Without regard to the countless arguments associated 
with ipv6, shouldn't NTS simply acknowledge that ipv6 isn't enabled, and 
continue initialization if it isn't  available?

It was easily enough solved by re-enabling ipv6 in the boot config, and 
I have it running fine now in my test environment.
