My 2c is that this behaviour contradicts the behaviour of all other daemon type packages which are installed.
By default, a daemon is enabled when you install it in Ubuntu, and avahi-daemon now breaks that "rule". Consistency is a good thing. -- /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon is useless https://launchpad.net/bugs/56426 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
