It is of course not even obvious how to solve this, because sometimes you do want ULA in DNS, and sometimes you don’t. And it depends on what DNS. If you are doing split DNS, then you can scope the DNS that advertises ULAs only to serve those networks where those ULAs are in-scope. The DNS that is advertised globally would of course contain no ULAs. How this is arranged is either a matter of local configuration or an interesting topic of future work, depending on how you look at it.
