  Actual result
  -------------
  The network config forces the client to try dhcpv6, not stateless e.g slaac. This fails when there is no DHCPv6 configured, or DHCPv6 is only configured to provide advanced options such a bootfile-url etc.

  # Created by cloud-init on instance boot automatically, do not edit.
  #
  BOOTPROTO=none
  DEFROUTE=yes
  DEVICE=eth0
  DHCPV6C=yes
  HWADDR=fa:16:3e:73:0d:96
  IPV6INIT=yes
  IPV6_DEFAULTGW=fd12:3456:789a:1::fffe
  MTU=1450
  ONBOOT=yes
  TYPE=Ethernet
  USERCTL=no

  
  Expected result
  ---------------
  The configuration written should differentiate between dhcp6-stateful and dhcp6-stateless.
  For dhcp6-stateless "DHCPV6C=yes" should be replaced by IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes as shown in the example below.

  
  # Created by cloud-init on instance boot automatically, do not edit.
  #
  BOOTPROTO=none
  DEFROUTE=yes
  DEVICE=eth0
  IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
  HWADDR=fa:16:3e:73:0d:96
  IPV6INIT=yes
  IPV6_DEFAULTGW=fd12:3456:789a:1::fffe
  MTU=1450
  ONBOOT=yes
  TYPE=Ethernet
  USERCTL=no

  
  The issue starts is in the following code[1]:
      if 'dhcp' in network['type']:
          t = 'dhcp6' if network['type'].startswith('ipv6') else 'dhcp4'
          subnet.update({
              'type': t,
          })

  This makes the assumption that 'ipv6_dhcpv6-stateless' and
  'ipv6_dhcpv6-stateful' can be treated the same.

  Then in the code[2] the subnet type is checked and DHCPV6C is always used.
      if subnet_type == 'dhcp6':
          # TODO need to set BOOTPROTO to dhcp6 on SUSE
          iface_cfg['IPV6INIT'] = True
          iface_cfg['DHCPV6C'] = True

  
  Grepping the source code it looks like this is only affecting cloudinit/net/sysconfig.py.
