Currently that is not supported, but it is definitely something we
want. So if you are interested in extending our libraries to cover
this usecase, that would be awesome.

I don't want to inject noise in signal of your conversation, but doesnt kernel itself do client side of ipv6 router solicitation/advertisement ?

As I understood it, whole point of ra is to be so simple so that it doesn't need any special SW component on the client side and to be able to
initialize automatically within interface activation.

Two more points:

1. Since RA mechanism is automatic - without userland involvement, it would be nice to have an option to either deactivate ( presumably within kernel option line) or to remove such adress from adapter if needed. Without this, malevolent or misconfigured node within network could do some damage on the local segment.

2. dhcpv6 is kind of stupid. It should be intelligent, but amongst all those options it has no option for client's or network list with gateway for each network. So, without tricks, you get one /64 span and you are supposed to use it for ONE node just for configuration convenience. That is usually solved by defining user-set options ( ipv6-netmask etc) on server and client side and using hooks on dhclient to execute small scripts that set ip/mask themselves.

Version 215 doesn't have docs for dhcpv6, so this is probably just in latest dev version I can't check, but just in case am asking for equivalent functionality here.
Otherwise, such dhcpv6 would be useless for most clients...
