This also affects Debian-CI for packages that depend on avahi-daemon
(such as https://ci.debian.net/packages/f/freedombox-setup/unstable/amd64/).

It looks like the default limit was removed in upstream release v0.7.


As you state, I removed the default limits in 0.7 for exactly this reason, if you don't use UID separation with your containers you run into this issue. The change is literally to comment out the lines in the default avahi-daemon.conf

I actually ended up removing all the limits because the memory limit was also sometimes being exceeded causing crashes on larger networks. So I commented out the entire section and decided with systemd we can leave it up to the system to impose any limits they desire as part of the init settings - but really it was just some kind of poor anti-DoS measure. It would not be unreasonable to backport this change to stable in my view, and intend to SRU the same change to stable in Ubuntu.
