I'd suggest that even if nothing else, the package is updated with the
same patches that Fedora have done - just to make the functionality the
same - ie it actually works.
I know IPv6-PD isn't really wide-spread, but its enough that there
should be at least one functional method to do it within Debian.
At that point, you're right - it'll probably not get much attention
again afterwards.

Ok, so after a day of messing around with Debian 12, it looks like
without these patches applied, there is no way to get a IPv6 PD
working
with a PPPoE connection. Given the majority of ISPs in Australia use
PPPoE as their connection method, this is a much bigger issue in
this
country than where the maintainers of this package live.
wide-dhcpv6-client doesn't seem to interpret the reply from the ISP
as
a valid one.
dibbler-client binds to the wrong LL address and fails to open a
socket.
Copying the dhclient binary from a Fedora 38 install and using that
works perfectly - which is using the Fedora patches for dhclient
v4.4.3.
The current, functioning patch from Fedora is here:
<<https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dhcp/blob/rawhide/f/0013-DHCPv6-over-PPP-support-626514.patch>>
How are we able to fix this properly instead of a 'copy the binary
from
Fedora' type fix?
Sorry, I really missed this bug report. That said, since the EOL of
isc-dhcp-server, I reduced the priority given to isc-dhcp.
If isc-dhcp is that broken for .au, I could consider a stable update,
after this has been solved in unstable and confirmed doesn't break
anything.
Cheers,
