I don't see that this is "hard". The box will get a /48 from the ISP's DHCPv6 server (or whatever is used for that) and re-use subnets for that for inside routing. Like simply the first /64, and doing router advertisements on the inside ethernet for this subnet to allow autoconfig of the hosts of the home LAN.
