Dear Maintainer,

  In setting up DHCPv6-PD on my local network I discovered that the
Debian packaged version of radvd is too old (2.20) for RFC 9762 support.

  Specifically upstream commit 760c15f8b4b248867f47825f78b6292379cdea64
added a new configurationm flag "AdvDHCPv6PDPreferred" which is
necessary to signal to clients that they should ask the DHCPv6 service
for a Prefix Delegation.

  Version 2.21 was released 2026-05-25 with this change included.

  I grabbed the upstream source, copied in the current Debian `debian/`
directory and built the current HEAD (fbbacdcbd12f829453deb33ed50a5a49a3c42b05) 
without issues.  Works fine.
