I notice that ICMPv6 was not working automatically with a fairly basic
install of shorewall6

In the output of shorewall6 restart I see this:

Compiling /usr/share/shorewall6/action.AllowICMPs for chain AllowICMPs...

None of the examples I've come across give a clear example of how to
enable ICMPv6

Is ICMPv6 supposed to "just work", or it is necessary to add some custom
entries to the rules file?

Is there any shortcut to automatically allow the minimum required ICMPv6
support for each flow where it is necessary?  E.g if I open up a port
for a web server, can/should Shorewall automatically add the ICMPv6
rules for that source/dest tuple?  Or is it always necessary for the
administrator to explicitly set up ICMPv6 rules between zones?
