OpenBSD doesn't assign by default global unicast IPv6 address.

Maybe if you provided link to those Debian posting it would help.

Comcast, they use PPPoE? Cause I don't think you will get an IPv6
address via DHCP on OpenBSD and rtsol (an IPv6 auto-configuration
method) is definitivly disabled by default on OpenBSD.

Are you shure those Linux user are not just setting up 6to4 (2002::/48)
auto ipv4 tunneling?
