Step 1) Strictly follow one of the above links, to the letter. Dasien's post is a summary of the Wiki page but, it includes code one could easily copy and paste into the terminal to accomplish the goals of said Wiki page.
Step 2) Edit /etc/netconfig on two lines. Find these lines:
Rather than all this there is a how to in the how to section. Somebody ought to update the wiki with it, since it's much clearer. On mobile so too difficult to give you links.

I'd agree, but, both links I gave and the one you shared, are not current for Wheezy.
Although I didn't mention julian67's howto, I did add the 00local.conf file as they suggested and still had the 6 remaining services listening for IPv6. Test if for yourself with a fresh Wheezy install. You'll find that rdnssd, rpcbind and rpc.statd are still active.
For my own curiosity, I reinstalled with no additional software. I went through the wiki process again (disabling IPv6). After rebooting rpcbind and rpc.statd were still showing up. Editing /etc/netconfig resolved it.

This time however, I did not remove rdnssd.
Will clean up the OP, now.
Well on my clean Debian Wheezy install I don't even have a /etc/netconfig file. And once the debian driver for ipv6 is gone, you can listen 'till the cows come home and it won't make a difference. If Rhythmbox had a feature to listen to ipv6 it wouldn't matter, because ipv6 is already disabled using the existing how to.
So I don't think you're how to should be called "Disable IPv6" but maybe "Clean up IPv6 Processes" and link to Julien's how-to for disabling, or else create an account and update the wiki. I think you've written a useful post; it is aestethically pleasing for those who want a neat and tidy system, and I thinkthe updated version is concise and well-written.
Don't understand why you don't have that file. Maybe you did a minimal install --without-recommends. Maybe you did an upgrade from sarge to wheezy. Maybe you installed from a CD, where I did a netinstall... *shrugs* Too many things to 'speculate' the reason why.
Am considering setting up an account to help with the wiki. Won't be able to contribute much but, have seen a couple things that could use editing/adding to.
