[Samba] dynamic DNS updates by DHCP script only for IPv4

Hi folks,
after having received great help from you guys, I dare to ask another
question here.
I am working with a system which has IPv6 enabled and where clients
should update their AAAA records as soon as they have been assigned by
the DHCPv6 server.
(As a side-question: I know that DHCPv6 is not very common and that
SLAAC is very common, but how do that people use DNSv6 registration
then? Only DNS(v4) is only a workaround, given that the future may be
IPv6 some time and as soon as dual-stack configurations are not
necessary anymore, they have serious problems with name resolution of
their clients which have their IP addresses automatically assigned. Or
am I missing something?)
I am using the script from the following page, which is working
perfectly fine - for IPv4 addresses:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_DHCP_to_update_DNS_records
Is there a similar script (or an extension of the current one) also
available for IPv6? (I don't think that I can update by myself...)
Or (again) am I missing some important point and my issue can be solved
differently?
Best
Tom
