I would expect that too, but that isn't what the docs say.  That's part of
the reason I think the special prefixes are very confusing and should be
removed and replaced with something that does what you would expect.


interface eth0 {
   prefix automagic;
}

would put radvd in a mode which will check the routing table, then listen
for changes to it on a netlink socket, and advertise
the appropriate prefixes.  Since ipv6 routing only requires link local
addresses to work, getting the prefixes for the non-link-local addresses
directly from the interface doesn't seem right.
