Description

radvd package for arm64 architecture is missing on package repository, causing router-advisement features broken on builds for arm64.

Looking at https://packages.vyos.net/repositories/current/pool/main/r/radvd :

radvd_2.20-rc1-23-gf2de476_amd64.deb               30-Dec-2024 18:54               49926
radvd_2.20_amd64.deb                               20-Aug-2025 18:50                2020
radvd_2.20_arm64.deb                               20-Aug-2025 18:50                2024

radvd_2.20_arm64.deb and radvd_2.20_amd64.deb are binary-less package. On x86 build, radvd_2.20-rc1-23-gf2de476_amd64.deb is used and it contains valid radvd binary.
But on arm64 build, radvd_2.20_arm64.deb is used and results no binary installed.
