Error: either "local" is duplicate, or "proto" is a garbage.
Seem's we can't specify proto during address configuration. However
using it obvious work around make babel work too.
Though I still find it a bit confusing, that babel announces the
prefix part of the address, but behaves as if it was /128. 
I have the following in the routing table:
2a02:60:2:: via fe80::c1ee:9e20 dev b4heu  proto 42  metric 1024  mtu 1480 advmss 1420
2a02:60:2::1 via fe80::c1ee:9e20 dev b4heu  proto 42  metric 1024  mtu
1480 advmss 1420
I don't see the point of the first line.

Yes, this works now. Thanks.
