I've verified fix-released on utopic. In 2 ways:
a.) set /etc/network/interfaces with:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet6 static
netmask 64
address 2001:db8::1:3
And set a local 'NoCloud' datasource, and then booted
the system to see 'ip -6 addr' shows the configured interface.
b.) verified that bouncing the sysctl settings does not deconfigure addresses.
$ vals() { for i in net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr
net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr; do [ -n "$1" ] && { sudo sysctl $i=$1 ||
return; } || sysctl $i; done; }
$ vals 0
net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 0
net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 0
$ sudo ip -6 addr del 2001:db8::1:3/64 dev eth0 &>/dev/null;
$ sudo ip -6 addr add 2001:db8::1:3/64 dev eth0
$ vals 2
net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 2
net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 2
$ ip -6 addr show dev eth0
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
inet6 2001:db8::1:3/64 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::f816:3eff:fefd:d570/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
$ vals 0
net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 0
net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 0
$ ip -6 addr show dev eth0
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
inet6 2001:db8::1:3/64 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::f816:3eff:fefd:d570/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
$ uname -r
3.16.0-21-generic
