Unfortuately avahi-autoipd seems to needs lots of dependencies, including gobject-introspection. bsd-cloudinit is written in Python and they use it to get a proper IPv4 addresses.

It's /64 formally here, but I am told only to use 16 (sixteen) addresses xxxx:2000 ... xxxx:200f Sounds like neighbour discovery scalability issues? //Marcin
