We've patched kdelibs to use avahi, so any user who installs the Debian 
package kdnssd will get avahi zeroconf ability. I think this is the same 
approach that Ubuntu took.

Another thing on my general TODO is to reform the default packages installed 
by the Debian installer. I'd definitely consider including kdnssd in the 
default KDE install.

Thanks for your help.
