As Kevin mentioned, @misc is the correct mailing list for this type of 
questions.

Install and configure dhcpcd for stateful IPv6. You can follow a router 
configuration and just leave out the PD stuff.

E.g. https://www.alextsang.net/articles/20230413-125757/index.html

The gist is edit /etc/dhcpcd.conf and make sure dhcpcd is only used for 
the IPv6 configuration and only on the WAN facing interface by adding:

ipv6only
allowinterfaces <insert your WAN facing interface>

'slaac private' (stateless configuration) is already enabled in the 
default /etc/dhcpcd.conf.

Stop and disable slaacd and start and enable dhcpcd.
