I am not sure about difference between Armbian and Debian. But I have found https://wiki.debian.org/Avahi with lots of information. There is a section for what Avahi is intended, about temporary disabling and permanent disabling. Disabling can be done without deleting files or packages. I think we can rely on this documentation. There should be no need for me to reproduce that by installing xfce4. [...] I did not meant to be offensive. Please excuse me if this was your impression.
