So? Nobody said "ipv6 address autoconfig" would use DHCPv6 for that.
Clarifying that that DHCP in IPv6 works differently than DHCP in IPv4.
I think that the OP and also another person were under the impression that
they can get a default from the DHCP server.
DHCPv6 does not currently provide a default route to clients. There has
been a fairly spirited argument on the NANOG list re: whether the decision
not to include an option for setting a default route via DHCPv6 was right
or wrong.
My personal opinion is that this feature should have been part of DHCPv6
from the very beginning - for the sake of feature parity between DHCPv4
and DHCPv6 - but I was not a part of those discussions.
