Are you sure? Keep in mind, that avahi-daemon.service can be
auto-activated via D-Bus or avahi-daemon.socket.

You'll need to mask the avahi-daemon.service to be absolutely sure it's
not activated.
$ systemctl mask avahi-daemon.service
$ systemctl stop avahi-daemon.socket avahi-daemon.service
$ avahi-browse --all
Failed to create client object: Daemon not running

So, from what I can see, the dependency is correct.
