can we explain what mDNS is - or link to somewhere that does. i have
tried and failed to understand what it's purpose is before, without
success.

this bit is a bit confusing as it starts talking about one package and
then mentions avahi which is a different package. I suggest:
In trixie, systemd-resolved no longer enables mDNS support by default
to prevent conflicts with the avahi. mDNS is [xxxx]
To continue using systemd-resolved's mDNS support you can run the
following as root:
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/
touch /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/00-disable-mdns.conf
It is recommended to do this before upgrading to ensure your system
remains reachable.
