[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#591084: [avahi-daemon] org.freedesktop.Avahi.service isn't installed, breaking avahi-browser, mango-lassi, etc.

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.27-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

After installing avahi-daemon, avahi-browser -avt did abort with the message:
  Failed to create client object: Daemon not running
After checking that avahi-daemon was indeed running, I had a look at the source
and found that this is an indication of a DBus-error, not an avahi-daemon error.

Further analysis showed that the file
  avahi-0.6.27/avahi-daemon/org.freedesktop.Avahi.service
isn't installed, because a --with-systemdsystemunitdir is missing in the
debian/rules file.

The attached patch fixes this problem for me; after building and installing
the modified .deb, avahi-browser -avt outputs the expected data, and
mango-lassi starts without error.
