For my ISP "LC_ALL=C host -t soa local." does return "Host local. not
found: 3(NXDOMAIN)". But still I get the avahi complaint.

Figured out that before my ADSL router (a simple home device, Thomson
speedtouch 536) established connection to the ISP, the query returns
"local has address 198.18.1.2". This address is reserved for testing in
RFC 2544. Perhaps the router developers would argue it's the avahi
script that should recognize it's not a legal IP address. In any case,
whichever way the avahi script tests, the DNS server radically changes a
little later. I guess the whole network service should wait until the
router is really ready.

This problem is basically due to the much improved boot time. Faster
isn't always better...

Setting AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=0 in /etc/default/avahi-daemon removes
the message, but in my case this file did not yet exist. Ubuntu 10.10
x64.

Some ISPs have .local domain which disables avahi-daemon
