The "fe" at the beginning of the IPv6 address says that this is not capable
of working with the public IPv6 network.
There's one crucial detail that's missing here. I agree that fe80
designates link-local IPv6 (they don't put "scope link" there for
nothing), but what about routing?
I.e. I'm curious about the output of "ip -6 ro l".
rprice@kananga:~$ ip -6 ro l
fe80::/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256  pref medium
Now *that* actually means it should be impossible for this host to
connect to 2001:41d0:202:100:213:32:5:7.

So either we have a little wonder here, or … do you have DHCP6 client
installed there by chance? Installer most certainly should include one,
and that could explain the difference in behavior between your current
host and d-i.

Interesting,

The only entry in Synaptic for DHCP was kea-dhcp6-server. Synaptic installed:

kea-common (1.1.0-1)
kea-dhcp6-server (1.1.0-1)
liblog4cplus-1.1-9 (1.1.2-3.2)

Now, when I do  apt update I get:

root@AbNormal:/home/comp# apt update

Hit:2 http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian stretch-updates InRelease
Hit:3 http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates InRelease
Hit:4 http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian stretch Release

Although if I do:

root@AbNormal:/home/comp# dpkg --add-architecture i386
root@AbNormal:/home/comp# spt update

then

root@AbNormal:/home/comp# apt update
Ign:1 http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian stretch InRelease

but, gdebi happily installed acroread, which requires i386 libraries, there were no warning or error messages. Acroread works notmally.
