I wish it were possible to be more consistent here.

The protocol itself is known as "DHCPv6," so I've tried to keep that
term where it doesn't conflict terribly.

The IANA-registered names are used for "dhcpv6-client" and
"dhcpv6-server," so I won't be changing those.  But if you have a
strong preference for changing those other three items, I don't think
it's a problem.
