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:
  Unknown

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.
