I don't know to be honest. What do you think, does that argument make 
sense? I don't really understand why it should be different whether 
you're using DHCPv6 or SLAAC, but maybe it's just me not getting 
something right now.

If it's fine, then feel free to drop the patch and upload a NM with 
adjusted regexes (preferrably committing to the VCS too).

Cheers,

Title:
  [2.82 regression] router announcements have 'forever' lifetime by
  default

Status in dnsmasq package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in dnsmasq package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  The default lifetime was changed to 1 day in 2.82 in the change
  corresponding to this changelog entry:

          Change default lease time for DHCPv6 to one day.

  Fine, but the same commit also did this:

        Alter calculation of preferred and valid times in router
        advertisements, so that these do not have a floor applied
        of the lease time in the dhcp-range if this is not explicitly
        specified and is merely the default.

  And that change is buggy and causes advertisements to have infinite
  lifetime, when you are using the default.
