My suggestion would be, to not disable the init script via
/etc/default/avahi-daemon, but by removing the stop/start links from the
runlevels. This is now possible, as avahi-daemon has become a SysV init
script.
Install a tool like sysv-rc-conf (or if you like a GUI, choose bum) and
run "sysv-rc-conf avahi-daemon off".

This disables avahi-daemon the *right* way.

Cheers,
Michael
