Title:
  Turns on IPv6 privacy extensions regardless of settings in
  10-ipv6-privacy.conf

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After installing the latest network-manager package that fixes  bug
  990011, I noticed that my IPv6 address was suddenly different because
  IPv6 privacy extensions had been turned on. Turning them off in
  /etc/sysctl.d/10-ipv6-privacy.conf doesn't stop network-manager from
  enabling it. I'm using the default automatically generated wired
  connection, so there are no connection settings in /etc/NetworkManager
  /system-connections.

  If I change some settings so that NM writes the connection to system-
  connections and then add ip6-privacy=0 to the configuration the
  privacy extensions are turned off, but it would be nice if that was
  also the case when it is turned of using
  /etc/sysctl.d/10-ipv6-privacy.conf.
