Bug Description
[Impact]
Ubuntu users concerns with privacy of their IP addresses over IPv6.
[Test case]
1) Configure netplan with IPv6 privacy enabled:
network:
version: 2
ethernets:
eth0:
dhcp6: true
ipv6-privacy: true
2) Run 'netplan apply'
3) Run 'ip -6 addr'
4) Verify that additional temporary addresses are added by the kernel.
[Regression Potential]
Minimal. This enables or disables the setting for IPv6 privacy addresses on an per-interface basis, and defaults remain unchanged.

Summary:
netplan contains no configuration entry that allows one to enable IPv6 Privacy Extensions (RFC 4941) when autogenerated (DHCPv6 stateless, SLAAC) addressing is used.
This should map to the IPv6PrivacyExte
