avahi-daemon has a sysv init script (/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon)
Have you disabled it?

Could you list the output of
ls -la /etc/rc?.d/???avahi-daemon
please

This patch is definitely wrong.
The systemd unit files are for the systemd init system, which currently is only
available in experimental. We will eventually enable systemd support, but at a
later point.

The --with-systemdsystemunitdir configure option should be set to /lib/systemd,
this is where the systemd unit files belong.
