This has no effect. The problem occurs again. I've reported a bug:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=782323

The SLAAC seems to have occurred about 2 hours after I rebooted the
machine, since I can see in the logs:

Apr  9 14:35:07 ypig avahi-daemon[2511]: Leaving mDNS multicast group on interface eth0.IPv6 with address fe80::21f:29ff:fe04:3efb.
Apr  9 14:35:07 ypig avahi-daemon[2511]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface eth0.IPv6 with address 2001:1::21f:29ff:fe04:3efb.

Apr  9 14:35:07 ypig avahi-daemon[2511]: Withdrawing address record for fe80::21f:29ff:fe04:3efb on eth0.
Apr  9 14:35:09 ypig ntpd[2694]: Listen normally on 6 eth0 2001:1::21f:29ff:fe04:3efb UDP 123
Apr  9 14:35:09 ypig ntpd[2694]: peers refreshed

I'm wondering. Since ntpd listens on the new address, could this
be done to modify the date of the machine, thus introducing a huge
security hole (e.g. concerning normally expired certificates)?
