"Router Advertisements" (=autoconfiguration) are ignored on setting
forward to 1 to IPv6 proc settings and your (automatic) default route (
::0 ), is set to a RA IPv6 (link-local) address, is gone.

for Debian you can set IPv6 (addy and route) on your VE0 (hardware node):

--8<--( /etc/network/interfaces )--
[...]
iface <DEVICE>
[...]
iface <DEVICE> inet6 static
	address <IPv6_ADDRESS>
	netmask <NETMASK>
	gateway <IPv6_ADDRESS_of_your_GATEWAY>
	# set IPv6 forwarding here or in /etc/sysctl.conf
	# read man page of interfaces (5)
[...]
-->8--
