- the aim is that if either the router or server stop working,
everything else (e.g. local DNS, communication between other local
machines) keeps working using the ULA prefix. Example: if the router
stops working, the local workstations need to be able to resolve the
hostname of the server and contact it using the ULA addresses.

For a home network or a small office, what is the best practice
for using ULA in parallel with the prefix from an ISP?
Consider the following:
- router (OpenWRT or Debian) receives prefix delegation from ISP
and shares it, and also a ULA prefix, over the LAN with DHCPv6
- there is a small server or NAS running Debian on the LAN
So, this is all outlined in RFC7084 (replacing RFC6204), and
post-CC OpenWRT/LEDE do a very good job of doing exactly what you
describe.
Also, the HOMENET WG has done work to make this work when you have
multiple uplinks, and multiple routers with-in the "home", and do
this in a zerotouch way.
There are many opportunities to contribute to this effort.

Is there any practical guide explaining what needs to be configured in
Debian to work with this if the router runs OpenWRT and the server is
Debian?
