(PD is Prefix Delegation)

Do you mean as a server or as a client?

<https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/ipv6/configuration> seems to 
cover DHCPv6-PD as a client and server (separate places).

I don't know if this is relevant, but ISC no longer maintains ISC DHCP and 
has replaced it with Kea DHCP. <https://www.isc.org/blogs/isc-dhcp-eol/>
I haven't looked into the consequences but I'm kind of used to maintaining 
the old config file format and expect the new format to be less 
human-friendly.
