It does use DHCPv6, but only if the RA has the O or M flag set.

The IPv6-on-this-interface knob has changed though. It used to let you choose between 'automatic', 'manual' or disables' for the IPv6 configuration. It now says 'automatic', 'manual' or 'link-local only'. Disabling IPv6 isn't an option anymore :)  Disabling IPv4 still is an option of course :)
