Hello,

I have just run a test with today's daily netinst
(http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/mini.iso,
dated 01-Oct-2012 00:11) with the same setup (IPv6-only network,
radvd announces prefix and RDNSS, AdvOtherConfigFlag is "on").

When the DHCPv6 server does not respond, dhcp6c still loops
seemingly forever (I have killed the process after 15 minutes).

Regards,
Karsten
