There's only one dhcp IPv6 client, and thats dhcpv6 which hasn't been
updated for a while and is quite crufty. They force a duid-llt too.

DHCP IPv6 isn't commonplace, as I don't think there's any good servers
yet. ISC's DHCP will have IPv6 support at some point though.

But you can configure pretty much everything automatically using radvd
except for things like DNS resolution, NTP, etc.
