Since I need that script, I did create one from the original
isc-dhcp-server.init.d. You can use it in parallel to the old DHCP
version. You'll need to have your config file in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf
and the default file in /etc/default/isc-dhcp6-server (which has the
same syntax that the old one).
As always, feedback is welcome to improve the script, and please tell
me if I can help integrating it to the package.
By the way, IMHO this is _not_ a feature but a bug, since the binary
bundles with the support of a whole new protocol (DHCPv6) that you
cannot use by just configuring the server. Moreover, whith IPv4
depletion, it'd be nice to have the next stable Debian to properly
support IPv6, which is almost done since most of softwares do support
IPv6, and only some Debian wrappers are missing.</my 2 cents>
