[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#549445: unclear sentence in avahi-daemon.conf(5)

[Dmitri Gribenko]

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.25-1
Severity: minor


A quote from avahi-daemon.conf(5) describing deny-interfaces option:

deny-interfaces= Set a comma seperated list of network interfaces that should
be ignored by avahi-daemon.  Other not specified interfaces will be used,
unless allow-interfaces is set.  This option takes precedence over
deny-interfaces.

Last sentence is unclear.  It can mean either of:

1. (take the context of `this option' from the previous sentence)
allow-interfaces takes precedence over deny-interfaces;

2. (take the context from the paragraph) deny-interfaces takes precedence over
deny-interfaces -- nonsense;

3. (there's a mistake and it should say) deny-interfaces takes precedence over
allow-interfaces.

If (1) is true, then this sentence should be better placed in allow-interfaces
option description.
