I fail to see how this qualifies as a serious bug. dhcpcd factually
provides IPv4LL the same way that avahi-autoipd does. Having both
packages installed factually results in 2 services trying to provide
the same feature.
dhpcpd providing IPv4LL functionality doesn't mean it provides all of avahi-autopipd. We have other packages packages, like NetworkManager or systemd-networkd, which also provide IPv4LL and I hope you agree that dhcpcd should not have a Provides: NetworkManager or Provides: systemd-networkd. I've marked this as RC, as I'm convinced this needs to fixed/addressed for trixie. If you disagree, feel free to argue this case with the release team, which I've CCed now.

TBH, I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve with the Provides: avahi-autoipd in dhcpcd-base.

Answering that question might help with finding a proper solution.
