Note that despite the comment on the second line (see interfaces(5)), not everything is explained there. You have to look at resolvconf(8) as well.
There is a bug that effectively overrides the privext value with what's in /etc/sysctl.d/10-ipv6-privacy.conf. You have to work around it by commenting out the two lines there.
