Thanks Tore for checking so much Details and all the relations to 
NetworkManager it might have on a Desktop.
On a server (no NM) I'd think it is always enabled i'd think.

But if that is a bug or not is a"discussion".
Just as much as users want it off (here) others want it on - see bug 176125 and 
bug 841353.
I think it is about the best default and control.
Reading through these bugs IMHO I see stronger arguments to keep it enabled for 
now - and since /etc/sysctl.d/10-ipv6-privacy.conf is a conffile it can be 
adapted if needed.

I'd currently be more concerned if disabling in
/etc/sysctl.d/10-ipv6-privacy.conf would not switch them off in all of
them, but had no time to check.

I'll also subscribe cyphermox who worked on enabling that if this
becomes more of a discussion.
