I am not sure if I can confirm this for Ubuntu 18.04, as I don't know if
nplan is actually the package being used below the GUI.

However: Using Linux Mint 19 (Ubuntu 18.04) with sysctl configured
privacy extensions:

net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 2
net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 2
net.ipv6.conf.wlp4s0.use_tempaddr = 2

Settings get completely ignored and no temporary address is created. 
Only if I open the configuration for the Wifi network I am connected to and set 
the privacy options under IPv6 I get a temporary address assigned.

It seems right now there are two options: (?)
- Have nplan follow sysctl settings and keep current Ubuntu documentation
- Have new nplan settings for this (e.g. I could not find a global setting 
anywhere) and update Ubuntu documentation
