Public bug reported:
The default lifetime was changed to 1 day in 2.82 in the change
corresponding to this changelog entry:
Change default lease time for DHCPv6 to one day.
Fine, but the same commit also did this:
Alter calculation of preferred and valid times in router
advertisements, so that these do not have a floor applied
of the lease time in the dhcp-range if this is not explicitly
specified and is merely the default.
And that change is buggy and causes advertisements to have infinite
lifetime, when you are using the default.
