I did it!

… then put something like (with net.ifnames=0 of course)…

	ip=6,0,eth0,debian.example.org,2001:db8::1/128,fe80::1

… in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub then regenerate the
initramfs and update-grub and you’ll be set for some use cases,
namely “remotely unlock full disc encryption with dropbear”.

NFS over IPv6 still relies on klibc’s nfsmount utility (which is
also insistent on using Legacy IP).

But this is a start ☻
