Description:
Avahi has an optional dependency nss-mdns, but since this is required for name lookup of all zeroconf hostnames, I feel that this should be a real dependency and not an optional one.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
avahi 0.6.25-1
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  Avahi and nss-mdns don't have anything in common besides using the same protocol. What's next, adding nss-ldap to the openldap dependencies because you need nss-ldap for LDAP UID lookups?
